The Mississauga training facility for St. John Ambulance is now offering a special first aid course for pet owners who want to be able to help their four-legged friend in an emergency.
The Pet First Aid course will cover a variety of topics including how to recognize and treat infections, recognizing and treating shock, and what to do if a pet is choking.
Other skills to learn include how to treat and prevent poisonings and seizures, what to do if a dog or cat is sprayed by a skunk, how to help a pet during labour and delivery and also how to administer different Forms of medication. Those who take the course will also learn more about how to pet-proof their home, how to use different objects form around their house to provide first aid to their pet and how to safely transport them to the vet’s office.
The instruction take about 6.5 hours to complete, and those who take part will be qualified to give CPR to their dog or cat. A company that prints catalogs can produce workbooks and other materials that can be given out to those who sign up for the class. This can help them to learn the material and it can also contain any “extras” that are not covered during the time in the classroom.
