Canine First Aid and CPR Course
Would you know what to do in case of an emergency?
In person class: This 2 hour First Aid and CPR course is designed to give the pet lover, dog sport enthusiast or pet professional the necessary information and skills to stabilize an injured animal until qualified veterinarian care is accessed. Whether you are new to dog ownership or a long time friend, EMS provider, have a puppy, or care for a senior dog, own a purebred or a mixed breed from the shelter; regardless of your situation, your dog is precious to you. You only want the best for your dog, just like you want the best for every member of your family.
One thing the class gives to the students is confidence. Confidence that no matter what the situation is, you will be able to provide care that will help for the best possible outcome. That alone is priceless.The class content covers over 20 first-aid items including: first aid kits, torn pads, dog fights, seizures, broken bones, electrical injuries, muzzling, bleeding control and appropriate restraining of an injured animal. There is special attention to choking, bloat, and poisons.
There are several hands-on-type skills that you will use on individual fake dogs. The class is relaxed and our open format is very conducive for learning. Since the material is paramedic-based, you can even use your new-found skills on humans (if you want to that is!).
Please no dogs to class! Service dogs are always welcome. Hope to see you soon!
