These classes are based on materials from the American Red Cross, and will be led with specialized cat and dog manikins. They are designed to help you recognize and learn how to respond to injuries and illnesses as well as emergency situations.

We will review scenarios such as taking your pet’s pulse and temperature, apply rescue breathing and perform CPR. Learn how to deal with choking, shock, abrasions, pad wounds, and more. We will also be covering how to prepare your own pet-inclusive disaster plans and pet first aid and emergency supply kits.

Registration cost is $25.00
