Pet Emergencies Happen Fast. Will You Know What to Do?

Would you know how to save your pet if they started choking or collapsed from heatstroke?
Pet emergencies can happen in seconds, and knowing what to do could be the difference between life and death, especially before you can get to your vet or an emergency vet. Most pet parents aren’t prepared and that’s exactly what this episode aims to change.

I’m joined by Arden Moore, a master-certified pet first aid and CPR instructor, award-winning author, and host of Oh Behave and Four-Legged Life. She shares the lifesaving skills every pet owner needs to know.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• How to recognize common emergencies like choking, heatstroke, and trauma
• Simple first aid techniques that can stabilize your pet until you reach the vet or emergency vet
• What to include in your pet first aid kit and how to use it effectively
