Pet Tech Pet First Aid & CPR Course Schedule

Did you know according to the American Animal Hospital Association that 25% more pets could have been saved if only one pet first aid technique was applied prior to veterinary treatment! Studies have shown that only 10% of pets will survive heart attacks unless proper CPR techniques were applied prior to veterinary intervention.

What if you could learn a set of skills that could help a pet by:
 

• Lessening pain from an injury.
   
• Speed up healing of a wound.
   
• Reduce the cost of veterinary intervention.
   
• Saving their life.
   

If all of these sound important to you, then this workshop is for you!
 

Pets bring us joy and love to our lives and work. What if you knew how to:
 

Perform effective CPR. (Studies have shown that only 10% of pets will survive heart attacks unless proper CPR techniques were applied prior to veterinary intervention.)
 

• Help a pet that is choking on a toy or treat.
   
• Wrap a bleeding injury to minimize blood loss and begin the healing process.
   
• Systemically assess a pet for injuries.
   
• How to put together a pet first aid kit.

This is a 5 hour comprehensive hands on workshop. This is far more than a lecture. You will practice and learn the following techniques on a stuffed pet. 

• Priorities and Concerns of Emergency Procedures
• Restraining and Muzzling
• Primary Pet Assessments
• CPR
• Rescue Breathing
• Choking Management
• Bleeding, Shock, and Fracture Protocols
• Poisonings
• Insect and Snake Bites
• Heat and Cold Injuries
• Seizures
• Vitals
• Pet First Aid Kits
• Snout To Tail Assessments

These skills are critical for pet care professionals and extremely important for all pet owners as well. 

Every student will have use of a stuffed demo dog to practice these life-saving skills on, as well as receive a handbook for future reference. Let’s not forget the certificate you can frame to proudly show off your life-saving skills.
