Pet First Aid
is the immediate care given to an injured or suddenly ill
pet as temporary assistance until competent veterinary care is
available. Properly applied first aid can save your pet’s life,
reduce recovery time and be the difference between temporary
disability and lifelong disability. This program concentrates on
basic first aid care. It is not intended to replace veterinary care,
but rather to instruct the pet owner on how to save a pet’s life
during an emergency or to minimize a pet’s trauma after an
injury.
Curriculum includes instruction on how to approach a
sick or injured animal, woud care, soft tissue injuries, muscular
and bone injuries, environmental emergencies, common illnesses and
more.
