PET FIRST AID COURSE
Saturday, May 23, 10:30 am – 6:15pm and Sunday, May 24, 11am – 4:30pm

Would you be qualified to administer first aid to a pet if needed? In conjunction with Life's Ruff Training School, PawsWay is conducting a Pet First Aid course. Instructed by a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT), the two day 'paws on' course is designed to give pet lovers the necessary information and skills required to stabilize an injured animal until qualified veterinary care is available.

Course topics includes artificial respiration, CPR, airway obstruction, bleeding and wounds, shock, poisoning, eye and ear injuries, bone and joint injuries, preventative medicine, parasites, injuries from heat and cold. Content applies to both cats and dogs.

Students will practice bandaging and rescue techniques with real dogs - bring your own family dog (or share one!). Naturally, any attending dogs must be quiet and friendly and proof of vaccination is required.

Cost: $185.95 per person - which includes manual, test & GST. To register, please visit www.lifesruff.ca. Reservations cannot be held without payment and there are no refunds. Space is limited so act fast!
