PET CPR
Note:  This course is sanctioned by the American Red Cross and is taught by Elaine.

Is your pet part of your family?   Do you know what to do in case of an emergency? 

Many people don’t know how to care for their sick or injured animal (cat or dog) without causing injury to the animal or themselves.  This training is designed for all pet owners who want to know how to handle an emergency, how to muzzle an animal, how to carry an animal, how to check for life signs and how to perform CPR if necessary.  All materials for the instruction are provided.  Please do NOT bring your pet.

Because this is specific CPR class, scheduling depends upon having a minimum of FOUR participants. Organize and gather your friends for this special Pet CPR class or talk with your veterinarian about sponsoring this training.
