- In this video, Elaine Acker, former CEO of Pets Amercia, demonstrates a technique for performing CPR on pets. NOTE: Since this video was produced there are new standards for pet CPR. Please check in at www.petsamerica.org for updates.
We shot this video with "Wolfgang" because he's a larger mannikin and the process is easier to see. However, this works the same way with cats. Just adjust the depth of your compressions accordingly (just as you would with an infant vs. an adolescent in human CPR).

Why I came across this video 6 weeks ago, I don't remember but I honestly think everything happens for reason and today I went to the store real quick to get a drink and beef jerky, my rat terrier pup of 7 months had been very good at being home by himself but whenever it was for more than 3-4 hours someone would check on him. This was a 15 minute walk... when I get home my dog who usually jumps all over me when I'm gone for 10 seconds wasn't coming to the door. Wasn't even barking, I went into the bathroom and saw the little guy wrapped up in the cords of a hair straightener. He was wrapped up tightly around his legs and neck. He wasn't moving, wasn't breathing so I tried not screaming and freaking out saw my box cutter on the shelf cut him free and gave him CPR which I didn't even knew was possible to do on a dog until watching this. He came to and was crying, red around his neck and I took him to the vet cause he may have had circulation cut off for too long but they checked him and he was fine just a little shaken. He's alive, and I can't tell you how much that means to me. He's practically my child. I gave him some beef jerky and he's seems perfectly okay.
There are times a trip to the vet would take too long whether its choking or they need CPR. You have to know what to do in these situations. Thanks for posting this video.
That's so awesome! I know things happen for a reason too. I am so happy to hear that you were able to hold it all together in a time of great stress and save your little dog. I came looking for this video today as I never knew how to do this and I have had dogs since I was 14 - I am 53 now and am the caretaker of 5 rescues. All of them are like my kids.
Brad Penrod He's our kid to be honest. Me and my wife just recently moved in and before even bought furniture or electronics we got our puppy. So yeah seeing him in that situation was terrifying. Especially because his eyes were closed and I thought he was dead. I couldn't imagine losing him in such a tragic way, and I'm glad I didn't but really it was thanks to this video.
Slevin Reviews Beautiful story. I am glad that your baby is ok. Just make sure that every time you go out, close all the doors and make sure blankets, cords or anything that might harm your dog is put away. I do that every time I go out because one day the laundry room door was open and he was pulling a sheet to play with and got tangled with it. Thanks god I found it right on time. My dog is a handful and I love him with everything I have. Blessings to you and puppy .
the mothafucking vet refused to do this to my pup so I got the fuck out of there and did myself but by the time it was too late. that dog was the only thing i really loved in this fucking world
thank you so much for this video. My 7 year old boxer stopped breathing yesterday and I had no idea what to do. I quickly jumped on youtube and found your video and followed your instructions and was able to revive him. He's doing well now but we found out he has cardiomyopathy. Anyway, I am so thankful for your video as it saved my dog. Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts.
this video saved my golden retrivers life when it suddenly stopped breathing. thank u
Wow, are you serious???
Both of you are heroes!
Astonishing!
Just a few suggestions please? Next video: Especially in K9s who may try to swallow & then choke on anything
1) Gently probe the airway for an OBSTRUCTION; carefully remove any foreign body in the throat.
2) Perform the ENTIRE SEQUENCE as if it was a true Cardio/Pulmonary arrest. And
3) mention why compression are faster; K9 heart rate much faster than humans.
4) Best to check a Femoral or Supra-cardiac (over the heart) pulse. If dog's circulation is compromised but working, a major central vessel is best before doing compressions.
Thank you, we'll Post this on our pages & our local boarding kennels' pages too!
thank you so much for thus information, this is exactly what I was looking for, my cat was choking on food I hope it never happens again but is better to know what to do.
I actually took a Dog CPR class offered by the Red Cross in Jefferson City, MO. It was a really great class and I commend the Red Cross for offering it--I always have at least 3 dogs of my own and sometimes foster dogs, so this training might help me save a life one day.
this is SOOOO appreciated! thank you. I took notes..hope I never need it, but it's nice that someone, other than most people on here, took it seriously. My babies are so precious to me. I'm glad someone understands that.
THANK YOU again, from the bottom of my heart.
Just saw "Inside edition" TV where during an obedience class a 4 yr old Boxer collapsed. The instructor gave CPR, all recorded on video. The dog was not breathing or responsive. After 2 minutes of CPR the dog started breathing on its own. She was a little dazed at first but made a full recovery. The dog was later diagnosed with a heart condition and should avoid strenuous exercise. That instructor saved the animal. It was amazing. The owner was a young girl, in hysterics watching the whole time.
Thank you so much for this video. We had a stray dog that we were feeding and were waiting to take in. I found him on the side of the road and got out of the car and heard him crying. We live in the country so we didnt have enough time to make it to the E.Vet. we were close to home so we brought him back and layed him down. My partner tried to give him CPR after he stopped breathing but we had no idea what we were doing and he didn't make it 20 minutes. I will never let this happen again, Thanks
Excellent instructional video for all of our beloved canines and their human companions...
Important information to know as us humans aren't always the ones who need help...
Thank you for a pet CPR video that was well done, comprehensive and not too long. I hope I never need to perform pet CPR, but I love my dogs and would do anything to save them. Thanks again, Elaine!
Love you so much!! Blessings for you and all who you love.
Thank you a lot for this great demonstration, I love my pet and I know I have to be prepare, you never know...
Incredible information!
Thanks for the video.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. VERY NICELY EXPLAINED.
thank you for this vid! I think knowing CPR for pets is very important and can save a pet's life one day.
Thank you sooooo much for this info!!!
I watched this video a long time ago, had to use it today. Thank God, our little dog lives on.
Thanks so much for this. I just had to perform emergency cpr on my little dog. It worked but I just wanted to check and see if I had done it right. I didn't know about the abdomen squeezing. This is a very informative video. 5 stars
Everyone needs to see this!
I wish I would of seen this video three days ago, I would of saved my Boxer with this knowledge and would't have died in my arms in front of my son. Thanks for the video, now I know for next time. Knowledge is everything.
Awesome informative video..thank you sooo much for sharing with all of us xo
Thank You!
thank you for this highly informative video
Always good to have the knowledge in advance... hopefully I'll never have use for this information but it certainly doesn't hurt to be educated!
Wish I would have thought to search for this before I needed to save my best friends life
Awesome Video!!
Thank you for the video! Is there any special tips or different maneuvers to do when practicing CPR to small dogs like tiny chihuahuas? Specially on the compression part?
Thank you for this!
This video was very very informative and very easy to understand. Thank you so much :-)
Good job, thanks for this valuable info
Very helpful, thanks.
Thanks a lot!
Pulse location was very helpful!!
thank you very much for that video, it is helping me in my studies, cheers
Thankkss this is the best cpr for dogs video on here.
you explained it well.
(: Thank you.
It works people. Thank you.
Please update your video to current vet med guidelines to reflect that immediately starting chest compressions is more important than administering artificial respiration. Chest compressions should be approximately 100-120 per minute ('Staying Alive' by The Bee Gees is the speed in which one should deliver the appropriate number of chest compressions).
Thank you for the video. Where would you suggest to go in Los Angeles area to get CPR for pets certification? Thanks
Per the video it has to be on its right side since the heart is on the left and that is where you are going to be administering the CPR to "jump start" the heart. (When you are doing CPR you are pressing down on the heart to artificially allow blood and oxygen to move through the body and in hopes to jar the heart into pumping again.)
Her compressions are more than 15 every 10 seconds. So idk if I should match her speed or do what she said verbally?
Thanks. Very helpful. I will watch this till I know how to do it correctly. I could have saved several of my animals possibly.
Thank you thank you thank you for teaching me dog CPR .
Very helpful.
Pip
thxs for this video
Thanks for this video, I love my dogs and I now feel better that I can save their life.
CPR can make all the difference in the world while seeking professional help. Keeping blood flowing to the heart and brain with compressions is key and the AHA has now recommended beginning with 15 compressions then the breaths.
thanks for this my dog has an allergic reaction and is breathing very heavy so i watched this just in case
I just saw a video where it said 30 compression and 2 breaths?
Quick question. I once found one of my dogs unconscious under a tree. I rushed her to the vet and they told me she would probably not make it. I wanted to sit with her and hold her, which the vet let me do , but when I put my face near hers to say goodbye and kiss her snout, the vet told me to keep my face away from hers because if she woke up, she might be confused and bite my face. Would this be something to worry about when giving rescue breathes to a dog? Is there anything o could do to prevent this from happening?
In the video, it instructed you to hold the snout shut while performing CPR. If the dog got confused and did wake up, you would know and back away due to instinct, before it would have bitten you.
@erratichippie
Its fine to roll the dog if he's on his left side.... as long as he does not have a spine or head injury.
Thank you! I hope I don't have to do this to my dog, but it is good information to know.
thank u!!!.. very useful.. i really hope never have to do it.. but very important to know it..
´cause i didnt even know you can do CPR on a dog..
Thank you so much! You never know when this may be useful. I want to be prepared if I see an animal/human that needs CPR. I'm already CPR certified for humans, but not pets yet. Does anyone know where I might get a CPR certification for pets?
Thank you so much for making this video.My little Rat Terrier,Bandit,thanks you too.Hope we never need to use it,but it nice to know what to do in emergency.
This saved my dog's life
Actually my friends mother happened to watch a program on Animal Planet that showed how to do Pet CPR and their Jack Russell's heart stopped a month later...She did the CPR and brought him back to life and he lived 2 more years...passing away at 19 years old. So yeah...I think this is good for any pet owner to know...especially if your dog has a bad heart.
How many times do I have to do this if my dog is small? (7 kilos)
Does this work for all animals even small ones? Like rabbits, ferrets, ect?
I'm wondering since regular CPR is only about 18% effective outside of the hospital if Pet CPR is actually anymore effective.
My puppy got into rat poison. We're not sure if it was accidental (something in the home) or deliberate. I cleaned out our storage room last summer to convert it into a computer room and I took out all the rat poison. I cleaned it thoroughly and I can't see how I could miss any. Dog CPR is really good to know because strychnine poisoning causes respiratory arrest. My baby is fine now after having an IV, enema, dexamethasone inj and oxygen!
Good video, but... This is the old technique. Now, it is exactly like the CPR for humans. You start with 30 compressions (between 100 and 120 cycles a minute) and then you do 2 ventilations.
Would you use an AED if you have one available?
very helpful to know how to do CPR on a dog :)
1 my dog gave birth to a litter of 6 puppies, on the second day, i checked how they are doing and found out that one was unconscious probably accidentally lain over by his mother. the pup is still warm but his face is already pale, i tried doing my own idea of cpr on him, i dont know if i made progress. his face was already starting to go back to normal, but he urinated, my mother told me that once anybody already urinates that means his dead. so i gave up. i feel sorry for the pup.
@wesmedia will you open this video for community contribution? I would like to add Russian subtitles.
How often does a dog code? I would think that was more of a symptom of heart attacks which I would think would happen more in humans. Has anyone had to use this? I've only heard of it during a surgery, in a vet's office.
What if i find the dog lying on the right side? Should i turn the dog on the left side, or i will make his/her condition worse if i do that? I'm asking because i probably would not know what was the cause that stop his/her breathing.
You want to be able to apply pressure to the thoracic cavity near the heart. That pressure being effective is most important when your animal has undergone cardiac arrest.
WATCH the video, it tells you on the RIGHT SIDE
This should be taught by every animal shelter who adopts out dogs to the new adopters.
thank i hope i never need to do this but if i do i hope not to forget
thank you. i am writing a story about a guy who loves his dog and it's his best friend. they always hang together and go for long walks. and then the dog alost drowns as they are bathing in the ocean. he needs to perform cpr on the dog and i needed to know how to do it. also, i need to learn it in case it happenes to one of my dogs. i'm sorry for all of you who lost your dog because no one near knew how to perform cpr, or someone tried and didn't quite make it, or something like that.
What if they are lying on their left side? Is it safe to move them?
How far are the chest compressions? On humans it's 1/3 of the depth of the chest. That is incredibly important info so you dont damage them.
... I wish you had one bit that goes through the routine in one motion... And what about smaller dogs? Like a pom? Do I just use my fingers for compression as I would for a baby?
@erratichippie since the heart is located on the right side (34 seconds into the video) you would have to roll the dog over. I would think yes it's ok to move them over onto their right side.

The website for Petsamerica is gone
That's is a awesome thing to do
Human CPR has changed. It used to be that for people we focused on getting the blood oxygenated, but now we focus initially on compressions to get the blood moving as it remains oxygenated for a few minutes and getting it moving is more vital at least initially. Dog physiology isn't exactly the same, but I'd wager that compressions should take precedence.
I guess this would be an instance where having a razor with your AED would be very helpful.
I rescuscitated someone who had received compressions for a few minutes but showed no sign of breathing or HR, by digging out her tongue, and providing breaths while the other trained nurse continued to provide the compressions.
She coughed within a few breaths. She would have died if I didn't provide the breathing, so I don't understand the newer method of merely providing compressions.
It's been shown that the breaths make the compressions less effective and it takes awhile for the SaO2 to drop significantly and breaths can increase intrathoracic pressure. The newer protocol have a significantly higher survival rate.
But, obviously, breathing is important, too. If you have a partner, it's easier to get a couple of breaths in, but if you have an AED that's also incredibly important to get attached as quickly as possible.
Compressions take the place of a beating heart after somebody has no carotid pulse, but the real problem is that the heart needs to be restarted and simply compressing it doesn't do that but shocking it might.
Anyhow, this really only applies to somebody in cardiac arrest. For somebody not breathing, but with a weak pulse, providing ventilation may take priority. I wonder if your patient was really in cardiac arrest.
Either way, good job on saving a life.
Thanks for the updated info. I just can't understand how continued compressions would have brought her back if her air-way remained blocked.
The person doing the compressions was the matron of a hospital.
Patient subsequently went into spasms every 10 mins or so, until the ambulance brought her to hospital, and a wire was inserted from her thigh to her heart to make the rhythm normal again. She still alive about 8 years later, at 103 years young.
Clearing the airway is certainly vital. If the airway isn't clear, your ventilations will be ineffective. That part hasn't change. What's changed is just how long we do compressions before giving breaths and there is also a priority on getting the heart reset with electricity.
Anyhow, personally, I haven't given CPR before, so I only know what I've been taught. I think it's really cool that you've actually saved somebody's life with it. Congratulations!

So I should check air-way, and clear it if it's not clear, then proceed with compressions with less frequent breaths?
I heard they were thinking of providing no breaths at all.
Does it matter which side the animal is on?
I'm a little confused. She says to do 4-5 quick breaths, yet she only does one. (Or is it 4-5 for Artificial Respiration only but only one at a time for Artificial Respiration AND CPR?) Also, she says one breath and then CPR but then she gives another breath and then does the stomach squeeze. Are you supposed to give an extra breath after CPR and before the stomach squeeze?
@spastic505 you are my hero
cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration/mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing are different.
are there any changes if performing cpr on a cat?
Wish I knew about this... could've saved my Yorkie.. maybe.. as it is, i found out hours later... the day she passed.. i had come upstairs to my room literally minutes (i think) after it happened... because she was still limp and soft... tongue had just gone started going grey... everyone tells me i did all i could.. all i did was panic... and didnt do anything to save her... and they all wonder why i feel guilty...
feeling guilty wont bring your Yorkie that, be grateful for the happy memories you two shared together
@nluzwick1 Yes, she is. You hold the mouth closed and blow into the nostrils.
I'm confused. Do you do CPR is there is a pulse or no pulse?
youre supposed to verify pulse and then for breathing, however if the human or animal, does not show sign of pulse, then immediately begin CPR, if the dog or human does have pulse but no breathing and does NOT respond to outside stimulation, begin CPR
Josue Ramos thank you
Thank you it is a shocking thing when it happens i didn't know much about this but now i have and idea and i have to say it happend to my Daughters dog just today i was at lost to help makes me feel so sad that i couldn't do anything , he died by the time she got him to the Vet's , i will be ready i hope if it ever happens again ,,
Lo hice con éxito, gracias a que vi este vídeo mi Constantin está vivo 😪😪😪 lloro de alegría gracias al cielo, le di los auxilios.
Gracias a Dios, que alegría, usaste la técnica igual o lo hiciste más rápido?
my dog just passed away bc of parvo he was gasping i was freaking out dont know what to do then he turned greyish i tried to cpr and i dont know the steps so while hes about to die im watching this vid but all i did was pushing him and crying he's only 3 months 😢😢😢
Leira Custodio i'm sorry you didn't have this video soon enough to save your dog's life. But parvo might have been a worse death. I hope you will adopt another dog (a rescue would be great) as soon as you feel that you can.
I'm sorry for your devistating loss last week my 15 month old cockapoo died while we were on holiday he cried out a few times cause he was outside the caravan then just stopped breathing and shortly after his heart stopped I tried so desperately to do cpr on him but didn't have great knowledge of how to. The vet over the phone was not very helpful. 😢
wouldn't you check the dog's airway for any obstruction?
I've never heard of the abdominal squeeze and have had to do cpr on my dog before and it was successful w/out it. But good to know I guess.
Excelente video, muito obrigado, isso eu irei usar com muito amor ao meu cachorro caso aconteça .
my yorky almost drowned in my pool today so i figured i should watch this in the event something similar happens again in my lifetime >.<
random knowledge may come up in any place or any time
I wish I saw this earlier
Ray, that's awesome news. Give your doggie a smooch for me!
the compressions are very different from what that man did in real life to the boxer. whys that? his way worked.. /watch?v=TvVPF4tu9rI&feature=related
@LFG22124 He saved the dog, that's what matters.
@sarah082485 Red cross offers first aid classes for pets that includes cpr. :)
I wish I knew about this earlier because of what happened to my dog :(
So, are you breathing into the nose?
