Pet CPR & First Aid
Sun, March 23
Do YOU know how to help your pet in an emergency?
Our training is vastly superior in that we provide HANDS-ON skills practice (no boring slides or video) with a "real world" approach to pet emergency care. The training features a focus on hands-on skills practice to ensure understanding, proficiency and retention of the life saving skills taught. Experience the difference of being taught by an instructor with 30+ years field experience in pre-hospital emergency medical care both administering and teaching these life saving skills in an emergency.
