How do you perform CPR on a pet?

To perform CPR on a pet, start with 30 chest compressions followed by 2 quick breaths, repeating these steps immediately. For breeds like Labrador Retrievers, lay the pet on their side and focus chest compressions over the widest part of the chest. If the pet is very flat-chested like a bulldog, lie them on their back and place your hands as shown in the diagram.

It's also important to briefly check for breathing and a heartbeat every 2 minutes.
