As a bonus, class participants will
receive an autographed copy of the book K9 Medic by instructor Eric Roth. |
This class is a must for any dog owner or anyone who works with dogs on a daily basis. Participants will receive basic instruction on the following topics: Canine Body Language; Personal Safety; The Importance of Early Veterinary Care; Appropriate Restraint of an Injured Animal; and Preparing a First-Aid Kit. They will also learn valuable skills, including: Checking Vital Signs; The Doggie Heimlich; How to Control Bleeding; Poisons; Seizures; Dog Fights; Splinting and Bandaging; Bloat; and of course, CPR.
The K9 First Aid and CPR course is designed to give the pet lover, dog sport enthusiast or pet professional the necessary information and skills to stabilize an injured animal until qualified veterinarian care is accessed. Whether you are new to dog ownership or a long time friend, EMS provider, have a puppy, or care for a senior dog, own a purebred or a mixed breed from the shelter--regardless of your situation, your dog is precious to you. You only want the best for your dog, just like you want the best for every member of your family.
Since 2009, we have developed and have and taught over 2,300 dog lovers a fun and educational K9 first aid class that is designed to be taught at any location. Since there is no 911 for dogs, it is our intention to close that gap. In short, we take our world of paramedicine and show students how to apply it to dogs.
One thing the class gives to the students is confidence. Confidence that no matter what the situation is, you will be able to provide care that will help for the best possible outcome. That alone is priceless.
We use actual canine CPR manikins where people actually perform “mouth to snout” breathing and compressions. The class content covers over 20 first-aid items including: first aid kits, torn pads, dog fights, seizures, broken bones, electrical injuries, muzzling, bleeding control and appropriate restraining of an injured animal. There is special attention to choking, bloat, and poisons.
There are several hands-on skills that you will use on individual manikins. The class is relaxed and our open format is very conducive for learning. Since the material is paramedic-based, you can even use your new-found skills on humans (if you want to that is!). During class each person gets a class participation packet, and will receive a pet first aid certificate at no charge. The card is valid for life, and with the card, students may take the class at no charge anytime in the future.
