Thursday, February 24 from 6 pm - 10 pm

Thursday, March 24 from 6 pm - 10 pm

These single evening classes take place in our shelter classroom.

This "paws-on" course is designed to give pet lovers the necessary information that will help you respond to a life threatening emergency involving your dog or cat.  Every pet lover should learn these important skills:

• how to approach a sick or injured dog or cat

• safe restraint and transport

• recognition and assessment of an emergency involving your pet

• to give lifesaving rescue breathing and CPR to cats and dogs with practice on a manikin used by veterinary schools

• choking, shock and severe bleeding

• how to handle common emergencies

• making a pet first aid kit and preparing for emergencies

• local contacts for pet welfare and emergencies

The cost of the course is $65 per person.  

This fee includes either a dog or cat first aid book.  

If you have both dogs and cats and would like to purchase a second book, the cost is $6.75.

 Space is limited so pre-registration and payment in advance is required.  

To register, please call Lindsay at 982-3555.
