[Pictured: Red Cross Instructor Mike addressing the Kahoots Pet Store Cat & Dog CPR/First Aid Class this past weekend in Chino Hills, CA] We asked Lulu’s Mom some of the key things she learned from this past weekend’s Cat and Dog CPR/First Aid Class with the Red Cross.  The following are some of her take aways. Did you know?— 1.) Dogs lose heat through panting and the pads of their feet, so if your dog is overheated it is important to remember to keep them off the hot pavement and find ways to cool them down (normal temperature is 100-102.5 degrees Fahrenheit): Run cold liquid down dog’s spine Put water soaked towel on head, neck, feet, chest and abdomen Place dog in front of fan Rub isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol 70% on pads of feet – but do not use large quantity (more than ½ pint) because it can be toxic if ingested 2.) The three places to take a pulse on a dog: The inner thigh Just below the wrist Just below the hock (ankle) 3.) Pet first aid kits can be different from human kits by containing: Canine nail clippers Needle nose pliers Wire cutters Syringe Congratulations to Week 2’s Winner of the Pet First Aid Kit: R. Foxworth!
