Pet First Aid

To many of us, our pets are family members. But, if these family members are ill or injured, we cannot call the local Emergency Medical Services. We have to stabilize the animal and transport it to our veterinarian or the local animal emergency clinic. The most important goal of the Pet First Aid course is to help alleviate that feeling of helplessness in dealing with an injured animal, and to teach pet owners about preventive measures that should lessen the chance of injury or illness.

The Pet First Aid Program is designed to aid anyone who cares about pets and animal to provide initial care for sick and injured animals until they can get to a Veterinary facility. EMRT provides easy care instructions in a friendly format to help you and the injured animal when an emergency occurs. Pet First Aid is based on emergency care for dogs and cats, but can be applied to other animals. This course is offered to GROUPS ONLY (8 or more participants) at your location. You will learn:

• Safety approaching an injured or ill animal
• Assessment of the Animal
• CPR and Rescue Breathing (Mouth-to-Snout)
• Muscle & Bone Injuries
• Wound Care
• Eye Injuries
• Medical Emergencies
• Environmental Emergencies

• Common Pet Illnesses and Conditions
