Overview

• New coverage highlights Jade The Vet Nurse's viral guidance, referencing a PDSA-cited figure that roughly 75–90% of owners do not know pet CPR.
• She urges an initial A–B–C check—clear the airway, assess breathing, then check circulation—before starting resuscitation.
• Her protocol calls for 120 chest compressions per minute in cycles of 30 compressions followed by two breaths delivered mouth-to-snout with a sealed mouth.
• Hand placement depends on chest shape: widest part of the rib cage for round-chested dogs, just above the heart for deep-chested breeds, and on the sternum from above for wide-chested dogs.
• Owners are told to call their vet immediately, reassess every two minutes, and continue for up to about 20 minutes as advised, using one-hand compressions for small dogs under roughly 7kg and for cats.
