choking advices

[golden&hovawart]

If your dog ever chokes use these. Print them off and hang them on your fridge or soemwhere handy. A choking dog is a scary thing.


DOG HEIMLICH MANEUVER

TYPE 1:

* Lay the animal on its side.
* Put one hand on its spine and the other
hand on its belly.
* With the hand on belly , push inward and upward with quick short motions.
* Look in mouth for object and remove.

TYPE 2
* Lift the animal off the ground and hold it vertically (head up and spine against your chest.)
* With arms around belly push inward
and upward with quick short motions.
* Check mouth for object and remove.

TYPE 3
* Kneel behind the standing animal.
* Place hands under belly just below the rib cage.
* Push inward and upward with quick,
short motions.
* Check mouth and remove any object.
