Pet First Aid is the immediate care given to a pet who has been injured or suddenly takes ill. This includes home care and when necessary veterinary help. Knowing the skills and techniques of pet first aid can mean the difference between life and death; temporary and permanent disability; expensive veterinarian bills and reasonable home care. Pets are counting on you...

Did you know that according to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) 1 out of 4 more pets could be saved if just one pet first aid technique was applied prior to getting Veterinary treatment?
Did you know that preventable accidents are the leading cause of death and disability for non-senior dogs and cats?
Do you know what to do if your pets have a medical emergency?

Certified Pet First Aid & CPR classes are now available. The training is taught by interactive lecture, demonstration and hands-on skill practice. The classes include a Pet First Aid handbook and upon successful completion, each participant will receive a certificate suitable for framing, emergency wallet card, save my pets home card, emergency muzzle, and more. We offer both public and private classes. These are perfect for pet owners and pet professionals.
