Meg’s Pet Sittin'

22/10/2024

Today is , a reminder that knowing how to save a life—especially our furry friends—can make all the difference. While having to administer CPR to your pet can be terrifying, being prepared can help you act calmly and confidently in an emergency.

Stay Calm:
1️⃣ Breathe: Take a few deep breaths to steady yourself. Focus on the feeling of the air filling your lungs.
2️⃣ Delegate: If there are bystanders, assign them tasks like finding the nearest emergency vet.
3️⃣ Focus: Keep your mind clear. Concentrate on the steps ahead and stay in the moment.

When to Start CPR:
🐾 Your pet isn’t responding
🐾 Your pet isn’t breathing
🐾 You can’t feel a heartbeat or pulse

How to Perform CPR:
Compressions:
❤️ Position your pet on their side.
❤️ Deliver 120 compressions per minute (2 per second).
❤️ For every 30 compressions, give 2 breaths.

Breaths:
❤️ Close your pet’s mouth and seal it with your fingers.
❤️ Cover their nose with your mouth and give 2 breaths—enough to make their chest rise.
❤️ Check for a heartbeat after 2 minutes. If there’s no pulse, continue.

When to Stop CPR:
🐾 Your pet starts breathing and responding
🐾 You reach the vet clinic and they take over
🐾 You can’t continue physically
🐾 Your pet starts breathing but is still unconscious

Recovery Position:
Place your pet’s head to the side, slightly tilting down (unless there’s head trauma).

Compression Techniques:
🐶 Medium to Large Dogs: Compress one third of the chest depth.
🐱 Small Dogs/Cats: Use your thumb and fingers for compression, or compress directly over the heart.

Stay prepared and know that you can make a difference in your pet's life! ❤️

I’ve somehow managed to gain the support of 100 of you! Thank you for your shares, word of mouth, and business opportunities. I cherish each and every one of you guys keeping me in your thoughts when it comes to giving your babies (or your friends/family’s babies!) the love and care they deserve in your absence. ❤️❤️

2024 Solar Eclipse Pet Safety

Just a friendly reminder - during a solar eclipse, it's a good idea to keep your furry friends indoors. The sun's rays can be harmful to their eyes, and the sudden change in light might spook them. Many pets react to eclipses just like they do to fireworks or thunderstorms.

I’m about a day late and a dollar short, but look at my newest fur-friends!
I had the pleasure of sitting for Brandon Collins & his lovely wife, Ami (whom FB will not let me tag for whatever reason!!! 😡).
I got to cuddle, snuggle and play with Dexter (aka Mr. Dexter), Maeve (aka Marge as I call her), Shay (aka Pretty Girl) & Renly (aka Reginald).

Dexter is a handsome mixed breed that will absolutely melt your heart with his little pout and absolute cuteness. He wants all the love and attention and loves his treats!

Maeve is a mixed breed as well, absolute sweetheart, and she too loves cuddles and treats. She and I have had lots of convos about how much of a good girl she is 😂.

Shay is a shy kitty with the prettiest golden eyes you’ve ever seen. I was told she peeks out to say hello, but she warmed up to me pretty quickly and I had the pleasure of giving her her daily back scratches. She purrs super loud too!!

And finally we have this handsome man, Renly. He’s an absolute sweetie and so curious. He makes the best biscuits you can buy on his blankie, and he loves his head and neck scratches.

I can’t wait to spend time with these lovely 4 again!!
