Choking Pet First Aid

  • If Your Dog Is Choking on a Ball
    If your dog is choking on a ball or other object, acting quickly can save their life, but even if you successfully dislodge it, an emergency vet visit is still essential. Internal swelling or airway irritation may not be immediately obvious, which is why our emergency team is here to assess your pet and ensure they are safe. Always treat a choking episode as a medical emergency, regardless of the outcome at home.
