Are you prepared to take action for your best friend in a crisis situation? Coming February 27th, the Pet Tech PetSaver™ First Aid course will be taught in Denver to pet professionals and pet parents. It is not too late to sign up.

According to the Lakewood, Colorado-based American Animal Hospital Association, 1 out of 4 pets could be saved if just one pet first aid technique is used before transporting the animal to the veterinarian. Knowing this, ask yourself; am I prepared to do what I must to care for my best friend in an emergency? Pet first aid is the immediate care given to a pet injured or ill.

Have you ever witnessed a cat or dog hit by a car with a pet parent running hysterically to aid their furry one and seeing them nearly hit as well? Fact is they were most likely leading with their heart. Pet Tech’s eight-hour PetSaver™ course will teach you to be effective; leading with your head, using your hands with awareness, acting appropriately.

Imagine your dog lying beside you, appearing to look like she is about to throw up; suddenly you observe her eyes are bulging; her neck is extended in a way you’ve never seen before. You realize your best friend is choking. Are you prepared to save your pet’s life?

Do you know “doggie” or “kitty” breath is abnormal and a sign of poor oral hygiene requiring immediate attention? Do you know how to properly brush your pet’s teeth, select safe toys, healthy snacks and treats? Do you work with your pet’s doctor to assure good dental health?

Is your pet seven years or older? If so, Pet Tech PetSavers™ will teach the risk factors associated with older pets; proper care for senior pet-izens in their golden years.

All of this and more; CPR, Rescue Breathing, Shock Management, Bleeding Protocols, Injury and Wellness Assessments, Heat Injuries, Cold Injuries and Pet Care. Available in an eight-hour PetSaver™ class, Saturday, February 27, 2010.
