Pet First Aid/CPR

Kittilicious · 10-10-2011, 11:41 AM

Do any of your vets offer First Aid/CPR classes? Ours did a couple years ago and I jumped at the chance to take it, but they haven't offered it since. There wasn't enough people interested I guess?

I haven't seen any classes locally, but someone posted this CPR video awhile ago and I thought it was really good:

The puppy classes at our club give first aid information. I don't recall CPR, but the cover the Heimlich maneuver, among other things.

I've seen several seminars for pet first aid available around here. I went to one that our agility club had sponsored years ago. One of the big animal shelters in my area also regularly has the Red Cross pet first aid course offered.

The Red Cross offers pet first aid/cpr. I took it this summer and now I'm certified. It's about a 4 hr class. Check with your local chapter. They also sell dog first aid kits

Thats the class I took (through our vet, but it was the Red Cross class), I'm certified now as well. Ours was a 2 day class, 3 hours each day. I was just curious on how many other areas offer this and if it has been an on-going thing since our area only had it once because of the lack of interest.
