PET FIRST AID

To many of us, our pets are family members.

Pet First Aid ClassesWalks 'N' Wags has been offering Pet First Aid Classes since 2003. The WNW pet first aid course was originally developed in 1993 by Nurse Ethne Dickinson of Oakland Educational Services Ltd. and a team of Veterinary professionals.

In September 2007, Ethne passed over the administration over the program to Walks 'N' Wags.  Since that time, Walks 'N' Wags Pet First Aid program has been updated and is reviewed regularly by a Veterinary panel for accuracy.  Our goal is to train quality Pet First Aid Instructors to provide fun, hands-on education to pet owners and pet care professionals.
