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.
This summer, we're focused on providing customized, hands-on Pet CPR & First Aid training at animal shelters, rescue organizations, boarding facilities, pet sitting companies, grooming salons, training facilities, dog daycare centers, and other pet care organizations—helping pet care professionals build the confidence and skills to respond when every second counts.
Public classes will return this fall. In the meantime, we'd be happy to bring our Pet CPR & First Aid training directly to your organization.
Interested in bringing this training to your team? Contact us to schedule a private class.
