According to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) 1-out-of-4 more pets would survive if just one pet first aid technique was applied before getting emergency veterinary care.
Our Pet CPR/First Aid Program is a four-hour course that will cover the techniques necessary for administering effective assessment of a situation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for dogs and cats, and first aid skills. Additionally, the class includes our 40-page PetSaver™ handbook, and upon successful completion, each participant will receive a certificate.
This powerful program is for everybody working with pets: pet owners, boarding and daycare employees, veterinary staff, shelter staff, pet care professionals, groomers, and dog trainers.
