Pet CPR and First Aid for Small Animals
There is no calling 911 when your pet is ill or injured. It is our duty to be as prepared as possible to be the first responder in a medical emergency involving our pets. Knowing what to do during a pet illness or emergency and providing medical care can have a huge impact on your pet’s outcome. During this interactive class you will learn pet CPR, pet basic first aid, pet wellness tips and pet safety tips.
Note: This class is geared towards canines and felines only.
UPCOMING CLASS DATES:
Saturday, March 29, 2025 | 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM
