🎄 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Prevent Pet Suffocation!

Pip and I hope you all have a wonderful time celebrating with loved ones — including your furry family members! ❤️

🎁 Thinking about surprising a loved one with a new puppy or kitten this holiday season?⁣
⁣
⁣Along with all the new training tips that go with integrating a new kitten, puppy, or older pet into your home, please make sure all family members know about the dangers of pet suffocation! You can play an integral role in protecting your new furry family member by sharing our website and social media pages with them.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Your new bundle of joy might be surrounded by love, but no pet owner ever means for suffocation to happen. Puppies and kittens are naturally precocious, so it’s important to stay one step ahead of them.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
You can ensure that your friends and family members never have to experience such a thing – especially with their cuddly holiday gift!⁣⁣

🚨 HOLIDAY SAFETY REMINDER! Are you prepared to keep your pets safe this holiday season? ⁣

⁣You know to keep things like chocolate, mistletoe, poinsettias, holly, ornaments, and tinsel away from your pets, but don’t forget about the sparkly and decorative plastic bags your holiday goodies come in!⁣

⁣These seemingly innocuous items CAN pose a suffocation danger to your pets.⁣

⁣🍪 So, while you’re baking your holiday treats and wrapping presents, be sure to transfer all food bags, food treats, and pet treats to plastic or glass containers to keep your pets safe and sound!⁣ ⁣Then, cut up all of your bags and dispose of them properly.⁣

🐱 Calling all cat lovers! Did you know that December is National Cat Lover’s Month?⁣
⁣
We’re here to remind you that cats are JUST as vulnerable to pet suffocation as dogs. ⁣
⁣
Though we hear many stories from dog owners, it’s important we don’t forget about our feline family members as well. Their agility allows them to easily jump on food counters, tables, and refrigerators, where they have easier access to food bags and containers. ⁣
⁣
Cats are also prone to hiding in enclosed and small places like bins, plastic containers, and washers and dryers. ⁣
⁣
So, what can you do?⁣
⁣
🐱 Be extra cautious when leaving bags on top of the fridge, in the laundry room or garage, and on countertops and shelves.⁣
⁣
🐱 Cut up all bags and dispose of them properly.⁣
⁣
🐱 Keep all containers tightly closed and safely out of reach of your pets.⁣
⁣
🐱 Always close drawers and appliance lids like washers and dryers.⁣
⁣
Cats are quick on their feet, and we have to stay on our toes! Visit the Information page on our website for more helpful tips and information.

Jade Beckett was within seconds of losing her puppy when she found Bailey non-responsive in a chip bag in October. Jade writes, “I nearly lost my boy today, who has a cone on and was very nearly taken from by a Lay’s crisp packet (chip bag). I gave him CPR and he spent a few hours on oxygen at the vets. One the worst experiences I have ever gone through. Bailey is 5 months old. I was home and he was left in the lounge while I left for 5 minutes to speak to a contractor who was working on the bathroom. I also puppy proofed the room but I did not for an instant think to move the wrapper that was left on the side. When I returned to the room I was faced with feces that had been skidded throughout. I thought it was very strange at first, as he’s totally house trained. I found him behind the door unconscious with the crisp wrapper fully over his mouth/nose. He was not responsive, I began resuscitating. I am very lucky to have YouTubed the correct method of CPR for dogs days prior out of intrigue. I was able to bring him back around and he was rushed to the vet who put him on oxygen. No further tests were needed and the vet was happy with his recovery. I was informed that if he was left for 60-90 seconds longer in that situation I’d have lost him or he could have become severely brain damaged. I’ve done so much research since and I’m absolutely shocked at how often this occurrence happens. It’s true, you don’t know the dangers until it happens in front of your eyes.”

Prevent Pet Suffocation recommends all pet owners learn Pet CPR, as you never know when you may need it. In our pet suffocation survey results, 28% of the pet owners attempted Pet CPR, and 10% were successful in reviving their dog. Many times it is too late when a pet is discovered following a suffocation event, but CPR can sometimes make a huge difference. Please view a video posted on our website under Blue’s Blog on how to perform Pet CPR.
