They may bark, purr, or squawk, but when something goes wrong, your pet needs fast, informed help. The Pet First Aid course teaches how to handle common pet emergencies—from assessing the situation and creating a first aid kit, to pet CPR and managing medical surprises like pros (or at least calm humans).

With a focus on safety, common conditions, and appropriate response methods, each module is geared toward ensuring pets get the right care when it matters. No need for guesswork—just structured knowledge, sensible action steps, and fewer panicked trips to the vet.
