How to Save a Choking Dog?

Stay calm

Open the dog’s mouth if safe

Look for the object

Remove the object only if you can see and easily grasp it

Do not push the object deeper

If the dog is unconscious, start CPR if you know how

If the dog is conscious and large, perform abdominal thrusts if trained to do so

If the dog is conscious and small, use back blows and chest compressions if trained to do so

Check the mouth again after each attempt

Get to a veterinarian or emergency animal hospital immediately

Call the vet while on the way if possible
