Canine 1st Aid

You feed him, you walk him, you tend him, you love him....but could you save his life?

Statistics show that preventable accidents are the leading cause of death among companion animals. According to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), one out of four animals could be saved if just one pet first-aid technique was applied prior to obtaining emergency veterinary care. Unfortunately, there is no "911" for pets.

This 2.5-hour Canine 1st Aid class will give you the basic information and skills you need to keep your pet safe and to act with confidence during an emergency. Class is presented by, Dr. Cristi Derenzi-Blackwolf, a licensed emergency room veterinarian with 17 years experience. Most pet first aid classes are taught by someone who simply took a class and has no animal emergency medical experience.

Subjects covered in the class include CPR, poisonings, broken bones, heat stroke, bloat, monitoring vital signs, proper emergency procedures, identifying problems requiring immediate attention, and how to keep your pet healthy. Also covers disaster preparedness.
