Always have a special oxygen mask for pets

Keep a special oxygen mask for pets at home to provide breathing for pets in unexpected situations such as fires. Especially when there is a fire, pets cannot hold it like humans. If you cover your mouth and nose with a towel to escape, you will inevitably inhale a lot of smoke and dust. An oxygen mask can avoid regrets.

Blanket Fire Isolation Method

Soak the dog’s whole body with water, and then cover it with soaked blankets and cotton clothes; because the dog cannot fix the wet blanket when escaping, and the dog’s Hair is flammable, so it is necessary to soak all the hair for double protection; then put on the leash, determine the escape route, and lead the dog through the fire to a safe area as quickly as possible.

Wet towel filtration method

Dogs, like humans, can be poisoned and die from inhaling too much smoke in fires; therefore, prevent smoke poisoning and suffocation when there are no escape conditions to wait for rescue. It is also very important for animals. Cover the pet's mouth and nose with a wet towel folded in 6-8 layers in the smoke. Pay attention to leaving breathing space, which can reduce the absorption of smoke poisonous gas by 60%.

Precautions for pets in fire first aid:

To prevent pets from jumping blindly from the window, be sure to fasten the traction rope and help pets cover their mouths and noses with wet towels to reduce smoke inhalation. Avoid taking pets in elevators to prevent them from falling due to power outage or short circuit due to fire.
