Your Chapter Needs You!

Pet First Aid and Safety is Here!

Ensure that your furry family members are safe and well. Course includes: How and when to call for emergency assistance for an injured pet; understanding what is 'normal' for a pet; identifying signals of breathing emergencies, such as choking, and how to provide care….and more!

Preparedness for your pets: Our pets enrich our lives in more ways than we can count. In turn, they depend on us for their safety and wellbeing. The best way to ensure the safety of your family is to be prepared with a disaster plan. If you are a pet owner, that plan includes your pets. Being prepared can help save lives.

Your furry friends are important members of your family. Make sure they're safe during an emergency or disaster. Find out more....
