April is Pet First Aid Awareness Month!
Do you know what to do for your pet in case of an emergency?
Our pets rely on us, and our thumbs, to help them when they are in need. Many of us have taken human First-Aid or CPR courses. However, dogs and cats don’t share the same anatomy as us. Although the concept is the same, the techniques differ. In addition, we can’t ask our dog or cat, “Where does it hurt?” or “Did you just eat something out of the trash?” Pet-specific training is therefore essential.
