The Heimlich maneuver on a dog can be a bit tricky but could be life-saving. First, assess if your dog is truly choking: look for signs like coughing, pawing at the mouth, or difficulty breathing. For small dogs, gently turn them upside down and apply pressure below the rib cage. For larger dogs, stand behind them, place a fist just below the rib cage, and thrust inwards and upwards. Have you ever faced this situation with your pet before? How have you been preparing for such emergencies?
