A printable guide to keep handy
When a newborn puppy struggles to breathe, every second matters. Knowing what to do, what not to do, and when to intervene can make a critical difference.
Drawing upon the 2025 RECOVER neonatal resuscitation guidelines and the educational work of Dr. Emmanuel Fontaine, we’ve created a printable, two-page emergency reference designed to keep important information close at hand in the whelping room.
Veterinary science continues to evolve, and some practices breeders have relied upon for generations are being reconsidered in light of new evidence. We believe responsible breeding means continuing to learn, regardless of how many litters we’ve raised.
Download, print, and keep a copy with your whelping supplies.
This resource is currently undergoing independent veterinary review. It is intended as an educational reference for breeders and does not replace veterinary guidance or hands-on training in neonatal resuscitation.
