Keeping Your Dog Safe - More Coming Soon!

Learn when to perform CPR.  Please review these videos before it’s necessary to use.  Each video may be in excess of 2 minutes and every moment counts in an emergency. A second person may be required.  As soon as breathing starts, take your dog to an emergency vet.  Consider also taking a local course.  

Please if your dog plays with balls, and so many do, please supervise at all times.  Avoid balls that are smaller in size and are smooth outside, or solid/hard rubber.  Learn the technique for the proper maneuver to dislodge a ball obstructing airflow in your dog’s mouth.  More info coming soon!

Please watch these videos before you need to use it, some are upwards of 3 minutes and time is everything if your dog is choking. This first video shows the XXT technique for lodged ball removal. 

Report problematic toys and products to the Center for Pet Safety, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the CT Attorney General/ Office of Consumer Protection/Department of Public Health and the manufacturer.

Sadly, pet toys are NOT required to be tested or meet safety standards nor are there recalls.  

There have been instances of people in communities unable to take care of their pets. Older individuals might become forgetful and neglect feeding and care of their pets. Join our network to check on your neighbors. Qualified candidates will be added. We want to be sure that   local dogs a safe at all times! Thank you!

It’s a difficult topic, but we must address what happens to our local dogs should they outlive us or if we are unable to care for them due to health. Statistics show many once beloved dogs find themselves in kill shelters and rescue organizations because there was no plan. Don’t let this happen to your best friend!
