Walks 'N' Wags' Pet First Aid Course
It may be the most comprehensive of its kind. Important topics covered in the course include: immediate steps to take in an emergency, how to handle bleeding wounds and bone injuries, how to perform Artificial Respiration and CPR, what to do for poisoning and heat/cold injuries, and more.
We also cover how to recognize signs of numerous illnesses as well as parasites. Last, we include an emphasis on methods of preventing illness and injury.
To many of us, our pets are family members.
Walks 'N' Wags has been offering Pet First Aid Courses since 2003. The course was originally developed by Nurse Ethne Dickinson of Oakland Educational Services Ltd. and her team of Veterinary professionals in 1993.
In September 2007, Ethne passed over the administration of the program to Walks 'N' Wags and our goal is to train quality Pet First Aid Instructors and continue providing such an important service to Pet Owners.
