Equip Yourself To Save Lives & Prevent Future Harm – Learn Some Pet First Aid Basics

Whether you are a pet owner or a pet professional, you owe it to yourself and the pets you care for to be prepared for any emergency. Being prepared is as simple as turning on your computer and learning some basic skills of Pet First Aid.

In this webinar, Rebekah King will give an overview of just a few of the scenarios you may experience as a professional working with pets and how you can handle them.

Pet professionals can equip themselves to save lives and prevent future harm. 

• Immediate Response: Emergencies can happen at any time, and knowing how to respond quickly can be the difference between life and death for a pet. Pet first aid equips professionals with the knowledge to take swift and appropriate action in critical situations, such as choking, severe bleeding, heatstroke, or poisoning.
• Stabilization: First aid allows professionals to stabilize an injured or ill pet until professional veterinary help can be obtained. This interim care can prevent the condition from worsening and improve the pet’s chances of survival and recovery.
• Preventing Complications: Early intervention and proper first aid techniques can prevent further injury or complications. For instance, immobilizing a fractured limb correctly can avoid additional damage.

In this webinar, we will cover the following topics specifically: some of these are common issues that pet guardians may encounter or need to know in an emergency.

• Basic Assessment
• Emergency Muzzle
• Toxicities
• Insect Bites & Stings
• Dehydration
• Vomiting & Diarrhea
• Heat Stroke
• Hot Spots
• Broken Toenails
