The signs of choking are well known to most of us since most of us have experienced it at least once.
As a result of eating the wrong candy or swallowing a chicken bone or fruit pit.
Among the classic symptoms of choking for dogs are gagging retching and horrible rasping noise.
Other symptoms to watch for in your dog include rubbing their face on the ground.
Hopefully if any of these symptoms are seen they will only last a short time and the dog will spit out a wipe and look quite sorry for themselves.
It is very important to act as soon as your dog exhibits signs of distress.
Taking your dog to a vet right away is the most important thing you can do for him.
Your dog may not show any signs of choking but the danger is not over yet.
