An AP Poll released last week reports that 58 percent of animal owners would go mouth-to-snout if they thought it could save their dog or cat. Dog owners were more likely than cat owners (63 percent to 53 percent), and women were 20 percent more willing overall. (And one woman polled would even perform CPR on her parrot, Koko!) Animal CPR doesn't take a rocket scientist; according to a Red Cross spokesperson, it works the same way for animals as it does for humans, only the mouth size is different.

But while many owners were willing to go this far, only 20 percent had a basic pet-first-aid kit in their homes. How about you? How ready and willing are you to help your pet when an emergency strikes?
