Pet First Aid
Axel’s okay, he was just helping out with our Pet First Aid class! On Monday, Homeward Pet hosted Metro Dog’s Pet First Aid class, teaching staff and volunteers what to do in an animal medical emergency. The day-long class featured education in animal CPR, rescue breathing, using splints, and more – with lots of hands-on training – and ended with certification in animal emergency care for those attending (and passing the test!).
Pictured is staff member Lynette’s dog Axel (adopted at Homeward Pet in November 2012) patiently helping out with the hands-on training.
