Pet CPR & First Aid Classes in Houston

When a Pet Emergency happens, there's NO 911 to call - you must act as their first responder!

Whether you’re a devoted Pet Parent or a Pet Care Professional, being prepared to assess and act accordingly can make the difference between panic and life-saving action.

Partner-Hosted Training: Semper Amici Canine Community (April 11, 2026)

We’re honored to partner with Semper Amici Canine Training to deliver a private Pet CPR & First Aid workshop for their clients, alumni, and staff on April 11, 2026 in Kingwood, TX. This 5-hour, hands-on emergency skills workshop will cover CPR protocol and techniques, vital assessment, choking and bleeding management, heat and shock response, and more — equipping participants with the confidence to act when every second counts.

This class is hosted by Semper Amici and is not open for general public registration, but it reflects the kind of practical, real-world training we provide through partnerships with pet care organizations.

If you are a pet-related business, rescue group, shelter, veterinary clinic, or organization interested in hosting a private CPR & First Aid training, we welcome the opportunity to partner with you. Inquiries may be directed to Learn@PawsitiveRelations.com
