PET FIRST AID NOW TAUGHT BY EAST HANOVER VOLUNTEERS
East Hanover VRS now holds classes in Pet First Aid as part of the American Safety and Health Institute curriculum. Pet First Aid is the immediate care given to an injured or suddenly ill pet as temporary assistance until competent veterinary care is available. Properly applied first aid can save your pet’s life, reduce recovery time and be the difference between temporary disability and lifelong disability. This program concentrates on BASIC FIRST AID CARE. It is NOT intended to replace veterinary care, but rather to instruct the pet owner on how to save a pet’s life during an emergency or to minimize a pet’s trauma after injury.
If you would like additional information about Pet First Aid, or would like to attend a future course in Pet First Aid, click here and give us your contact information. We will be glad to help. Please watch this site for upcoming class.
