At my house, in a heartbeat.
Would and have.
It’s no biggie, the boys and girls are well worth it.
Yes, if I knew how. It would be gross, but I’d do it.
Absolutely. But I brush our dogs’ teeth every night and then reward them with a Greenie. Their breath often smells better than mine.
Yes.
Knowing my pup would give his all for me, I would not blink if called upon to do this for him.
I would, but you have to be very careful with small animals, just a puff of air, otherwise you can rupture the lungs.
I know in people however CPR has changed to no longer do breaths but just chest compression. I assume they’ve assessed that this is a better thing to have than 10 compresses and a breath. I wonder if the same is true for animals.
There were many things I swore I would never do - until we got livestock. I am not so dainty about things as I used to be.
If a $15,000 alpaca needs mouth-to-mouth, they will get it.
Yes, I would. The challenge would be sealing the mouth completely so the air would flow into the lungs and not out the opening. I better watch the video.
My dog’s nose makes a funny noise if I put my mouth on there and blow into it. I do it all the time. Killer Rottweiler, btw.
In a Minnesota minute!
Seven years ago, our most favorite kitty needed an operation
He got it to save his life and I gave up my facelift.
Years ago while I was a firefighter I pulled a cat from a house on fire and did CPR on it and brought it back to life. Took it into an ambulance and gave it some O2.
I don’t think it’s a big deal, they’re always licking us on the face anyway. If we were worried about “dog germs” that wouldn’t be happening. Plus they sleep in bed with us, so doggie cpr doesn’t seem like a big sacrifice to me.
Of course, if I knew how to do it.
If my pet looked like this, no. 
Yes. I better learn how to do it.
I would! Mine would do anything for me and I would do anything for them.
WOW, that was worthwhile, thanks so much for posting that.
