In case anyone is interested, there is a pet first aid course at Urban Dog.  


Pet First Aid

Will you know what to do when your pet needs help?

To most of us, pets aren’t just animals, they’re part of our families. Just like human family members, pets need your attention when they’re ill or injured and during emergencies.  By knowing basic pet first aid, you could save your pet’s life when an emergency strikes. Learn how to recognize and respond to life-threatening conditions at this valuable course. The American Red Cross’ Pet First Aid course offers pet lovers peace of mind and the skills necessary to provide care in unexpected emergencies until they can get their pet to a veterinarian.

This course will teach you how to:

-Know when to call for emergency assistance for an injured animal
-Determine what is “normal” for your cat or dog
-Identify signals of breathing emergencies, including choking, and provide care for the symptoms you find
-Recognize and provide care for signs of cardiac arrest
-Control life-threatening bleeding
-Recognize and care for signs of sudden illness, including poisoning, seizures, and heat and cold emergencies
-Move an injured pet
-Act with confidence during an emergency
-Put together a “pet friendly” first aid kit

The next course at Urbandog’s facility at 37 Parliament Street, Toronto is Sunday January 25, 2009 from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.  The cost is $75 plus GST.  Please contact us for registration information.
