Practical training for pet owners, pet care professionals, veterinary support staff, and veterinary front-desk teams.

When a pet emergency happens, the first few moments matter. These courses are designed to help each audience recognize problems quickly, respond appropriately, and support better outcomes until veterinary care is reached or activated.

Each course is tailored to the responsibilities, setting, and response role of the audience.

Recognizing Pet Breathing & Bleeding Emergencies (Non-Certification) This 1.5-2 hour course is a short, practical awareness training designed to help pet owners, caregivers, ministry volunteers, shelter workers, groomers, dog walkers, and community responders recognize serious breathing and bleeding emergencies in dogs and cats.

The class focuses on early recognition, calm decision-making, safe handling, and proper veterinary escalation. Participants will learn how to notice danger signs, understand when a situation may be life-threatening, avoid common panic mistakes, and communicate clearly with a veterinarian or emergency animal hospital.

This is not a treatment or certification course. Primary hands-on emergency skills, including pet CPR, rescue breathing, choking response, advanced bandaging, wound management, and certification-level scenarios, are reserved for the full Pet First Aid/CPR certification course.

Pet First Aid & CPR for Professional Pet Care Providers This course is designed for people who care for pets as part of their work or service OUTSIDE of the veterinary clinic setting. (Pet sitters, dog walkers, groomers, trainers, boarding staff, kennel attendants, daycare staff, rescue volunteers, shelter animal handlers, transport volunteers, and other NON-clinical pet professionals receive a 2-year certification upon completion of the training.)

Students will learn how to recognize emergencies, provide immediate first aid, manage incidents professionally, communicate clearly with pet owners and veterinary staff, and safely prepare an animal for transport when needed. This class goes beyond basic owner knowledge by preparing pet care providers to respond responsibly and confidently in real-world situations.

Pet First Aid & CPR for Veterinary Support Staff This course is tailored for veterinary support staff who may be involved in the early recognition, triage, and initial support of canine and feline emergencies in a clinical environment. Students will strengthen their ability to assess urgent situations, support stabilization efforts, assist with basic emergency response skills, and function effectively within clinic protocols and team roles. This class is ideal for those who need a stronger hands-on emergency response foundation in a veterinary setting.
Note: Skills are taught for team-based clinical support and must be applied according to clinic policy, supervision requirements, and applicable state regulations. (Students receive a 2-year Pet First Aid & CPR certification upon completion of the training.)

Veterinary CSR Emergency Intake & Response This course is designed for veterinary front-desk personnel who may be the first to hear, see, or respond to a canine or feline emergency in person or over the phone. Students will learn how to recognize red-flag emergencies, gather key intake information, communicate clearly under pressure, prioritize urgent cases, support safe arrival and handoff, and activate the clinical team quickly and appropriately using clinic-approved procedures. This class focuses on recognition, response, communication, and escalation rather than hands-on medical treatment, helping front-desk staff function confidently and effectively during critical situations.
Note: Duties and permitted actions may vary by clinic policy and state regulations.

(Students receive a 2-year Pet First Aid & CPR certification upon completion of the training.)
