Today is , a reminder that knowing how to save a life—especially our furry friends—can make all the difference. While having to administer CPR to your pet can be terrifying, being prepared can help you act calmly and confidently in an emergency.

Stay Calm:
1️⃣ Breathe: Take a few deep breaths to steady yourself. Focus on the feeling of the air filling your lungs.
2️⃣ Delegate: If there are bystanders, assign them tasks like finding the nearest emergency vet.
3️⃣ Focus: Keep your mind clear. Concentrate on the steps ahead and stay in the moment.

When to Start CPR:
🐾 Your pet isn’t responding
🐾 Your pet isn’t breathing
🐾 You can’t feel a heartbeat or pulse

How to Perform CPR:
Compressions:
❤️ Position your pet on their side.
❤️ Deliver 120 compressions per minute (2 per second).
❤️ For every 30 compressions, give 2 breaths.

Breaths:
❤️ Close your pet’s mouth and seal it with your fingers.
❤️ Cover their nose and give 2 breaths—enough to make their chest rise.
❤️ Check for a heartbeat after 2 minutes. If there’s no pulse, continue.

When to Stop CPR:
🐾 Your pet starts breathing and responding
🐾 You reach the vet clinic and they take over
🐾 You can’t continue physically
🐾 Your pet starts breathing but is still unconscious

Recovery Position:
Place your pet’s head to the side, slightly tilting down (unless there’s head trauma).

Compression Techniques:
🐶 Medium to Large Dogs: Compress one third of the chest depth.
🐱 Small Dogs/Cats: Use your thumb and fingers for compression, or compress directly over the heart.

Stay prepared and know that you can make a difference in your pet's life! ❤️

Common Meeple

My wife, Karina has recently had our 2nd child, but in the madness of raising a family, she has felt that she has lost some of who she is. 🍼 Playing D and D was a big part of her life pre-children, but finding uninterrupted child free time now sometimes seems impossible, but that is about to change! 🥳

On Thursday 17th October, she is going to DM a one shot especially designed for new mums, where you can bring your baby along. She has carefully thought of a game mechanic that allows players to step away from the game to look after their little one when needed, and then return to the story without being confused.

Places are limited and so booking is required. At the time of booking you will be advised what character to roll up. 🎲 📜

As we will be playing with a different/new game mechanic to accommodate the little ones, on this occasion we ask you have some experience of D and D (but don't worry if you are rusty).
If this session goes well, we will be opening it to new players too.

This session is free.
