Attended 4-hour pet first aid class!

Was inspired to find such a class after reading Sam Tsang's post about his dog almost choking. Thanks Sam! This was organized by a national company called PetTech, they call it the PetSaver Program. Very informative. I hope will never need this information BUT in an emergency situation, the odds will be better because of this knowledge. It covered topics like:

Restraining

Rescue Breathing

Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

Choking Management

Bleeding Protocols

Poisoning

Insect and Snake Bites

Just to name a few. Even though this class was four hours long, I stayed focused the entire time.

I googled pet first aid classes and a pet tech instructor in my area had a website and listed her next class, which I signed up for. It was only $60 and soooo well worth the money!
