Many people all over the Cape and Islands own pets, but do they know how to take care of a pet emergency? The goals of the Cat and Dog First Aid presentation are to teach participants how to be prepared for emergencies that involve a cat or a dog and how to protect themselves and the animal from further harm, injury or suffering during emergencies by teaching prompt, effective first aid actions and care.
This course covers knowledge and skills necessary to recognize and provide basic care to pets for injuries and sudden illnesses. A wide range of topics are discussed, including preventative measures to help you and your pet live healthy and happy lives together.
Each participant receives a dog or cat First Aid text book written by the American Red Cross and the Humane Society of the United States and a certification. Our pets love and care for us. It is important that we learn how to care for them and keep them safe and healthy.
To register for the class, go online to the website, www.cciredcross.org or call (508) 775-1540. For more information about training, volunteering, donating or disaster preparedness, contact the American Red Cross, Cape Cod and Islands Chapter, 286 South Street, Hyannis, MA 02601.
