Yeah fundamentals are similar. We follow DRSABC (dangers, responsiveness, airways, breathing, CPR).
CPR is similar and we were taught how to locate the heart, and how to give breaths. As well as proper bandaging techniques and stress free handling, how to transport large dogs.
The caveat is that CPR is really not that effective outside of a vet clinic, but it’s better than nothing at all and at least gives the animal a chance of survival. The best success rates of animal CPR are within vet clinics/hospitals where there are multiple members of staff to assist and provide intravenous supports/breathing.

And like COR on babies, you need to tone it way down. No cat or little kid can take a full adult lung breath!
Exactly, puffs on their face for a breath, while cupping their face, and using a couple of fingers rather then whole palms.
