HE'D SAVE YOUR LIFE. CAN YOU SAVE HIS? Protecting your dog’s health begins with an understanding of basic first aid techniques. This informative one and half hour video, presented by a board-certified veterinarian and specialist in internal medicine, will equip pet owners with emergency action plans and hands-on techniques from how to clean and bandage a wound to what to do if your dog is choking. Heat stroke, eye injuries, poisoning and even how to stop the bleeding of a nail with common household items will be covered. CPR techniques are demonstrated and pet owners’ most frequently asked questions are answered.
