Trauma
If your pet is unconscious or can’t move, slide him onto a a rigid board or heavy blanket to help stabilize him during the ride.

Bleeding
Muzzle your pet, then apply direct pressure with a clean cloth until the bleeding stops.

Choking
Use your fingers to remove any visible object if you’re sure that Fido won’t bite. If that doesn’t work, give a sharp blow between his shoulder blades. Ask your vet how to perform the Heimlich maneuver.

Poisoning
Call the ASPCA’s poison control hotline at 888.426.4435
