Pet First Aid/CPR Course

Brooklyn Bark, in conjunction with BluePearl, will be offering a course in first aid and CPR for pets at the Brooklyn Mutt Show, tought by none other than our very own Bark Master with the able assistance of Dr. David Wohlstadter! 

This 4-hour certification course will cover 

  • Pet and human safety (as the Bark Master says, the first difference between pet cpr/first aid and human is that with pets your first precaution is that the patient doesn't bite you)
  • Bites & lacerations
  • Hypothermia / hyperthermia
  • Fractures
  • Seizures

No one ever wants to be in a sitation requiring this knowledge, but if you are and don't have it......  not good!The American Veterinary Hospital Association estimates that 1 in 4 more pets in emergency situations could be saved by the application of one or more of the techniques you will learn in this class.
