As a dog daycare owner you may only have a few short moments to collect yourself and determine the right course of action to treat the emergency. If you are unwilling to accept the fact that a dog is going to die at your facility then you need to get proactive and begin proper first aid. If you tried to cut corners by failing to equip yourself with the knowledge and necessary first aid items then you may very well end up with a dog dying that could have been saved.

 

The difference between rapid effective treatment and a delayed response while you try to call the vet, explain the situation and get a phone diagnosis, or load up and drive to the vet is usually the difference between life and death.  Being totally prepared is not merely having the tools and knowledge to begin treatment but having the mental toughness and clarity of thought to perform life saving steps when presented with a real emergency.
