Pet First Aid

Peace of Mind

Your pet is part of your family and just like any other member of the family, pets can become ill or injured. Would you know how to care for your pet in an emergency? It is important to know what to do when your pets first become injured before you can take them to the veterinarian. There is no 911 service for pets and after-hours emergency veterinarian clinics may be miles away from home. American Red Cross Pet First Aid classes offer cat and dog owners peace of mind and the skills necessary to provide care in unexpected emergencies until they can get their pets to a veterinarian. Pet First Aid teaches how to respond to a wide range of animal emergencies, including what to do in case of natural disasters.

Together, we can prepare for the unexpected...

Pet First Aid... a part of good pet care

Annual pet check ups and timely vaccinations are crucial in pet care as good diet and grooming are essential for healthy animals. Pet First Aid offered by the American Red Cross not only teaches pet lovers various skills necessary in emergency situations, it also provides helpful tips in daily pet care, such as how to monitor the animal's health by learning about normal temperature, blood pressure and other health parameters.

You will learn...

• CPR and Rescue Breathing


• Choking (number one hazard for kittens and puppies)


• Fractures, bleeding and other injuries


• Common emergencies, such as allergic reactions and burns.


• And many other valuable skills!
