To many of us, our pets are family members…
|

|
But if these family members are ill or injured, we cannot call the local
Emergency Medical Services. This course is designed to give pet lovers the
information and skills required to stabilize an injured animal until qualified
veterinary care can be accessed.
We emphasize preventing illness and injury, the importance of early veterinary care and the appropriate restraining of an injured animal. We help you develop an emergency action plan which can be used for any emergency. The most important goal of this CPR/Pet First Aid course is to teach you not only how to recognize and respond effectively to emergencies, but also how to prevent these emergencies in the first place. |
