There is nothing worse than watching your dog suffer and not have any idea what is wrong. Is it something minor or is it
something worse? Bad meat, snake or insect bite, rat poison? What you know or don't know about emergency first aid for your
dog could cost him his life. Are you prepared to stand by and watch your dog die?
The first five minutes after your dog becomes ill or gets injured is the most critical time. Don't stand by and watch your
dog die in your arms from something that could have been prevented if only you knew what was wrong and how to make it
better.
Your dog can't tell you what's wrong with him, he can only give you clues. It's up to you to make a quick diagnosis and to
take those critical first aid steps. Are you up to the job?
Twice as many dogs die from accidents or illness than from old age.
If your dog was bitten by a snake or a poisonous insect, or if he ate something bad, got hit by a car, or passed out from
dehydration or heat stroke -- would you know what to do? Would you be in a position to take those critical first aid steps
in the first 5 minutes? Or would you stand by helplessly and watch your dog die?
Don't let your dog become a victim. Learn the basic elements of Canine First Aid in about as much time as it will take you
to read the Sports Section in tomorrow's newspaper...
