Pet CPR and First Aid

Pet First Aid for You?

Who Should Enroll in a Pet First Aid Class?

Everyone that loves to share their lives with dogs and cats. This is a hands-on training that is a must for any pet professional, groomer, dog trainer, sitter, boarding facility, dog walker, animal shelter staff, or pet retailer. When you are entrusted with the care of someone else’s pet, you need to know what to do in a pet emergency. This also gives you peace of mind to your customers!

Why Take This Course?

Do you love your pet? I do; that is why I felt it was important not only to my pets but to all my customers! One of the statistics to realize is that one out of four pets would survive if just only one pet first aid technique was applied prior to getting emergency veterinary care, according to the American Animal Hospital Association. You need to equip yourself with knowledge and know how to act now in the case of a pet emergency!

What Will I Learn in a Pet First Aid Class?

You will learn a lot! You will learn different choking techniques, rescue breathing, three different Pet CPR techniques, bleeding protocols, heat and cold injuries, and snout-to tail assessments in wellness and injury. You will learn the preventative care that will save you money, and you will discover how to build your pet first aid kit properly.

What Will I Receive After a Class?

You will earn a certificate to display proudly in your place of business, work place, or home!
