Best Friends Cincinnati

Dogs and cats are more than pets – they’re family.

And just like any other member of the family, pets deserve to be cared for and protected. That’s why the American Red Cross has developed Dog and Cat First Aid, everything owners need to know to keep their pets healthy and safe.

Your Pet is Part of Your Family
Just like with people, accidents and emergencies can happen to animals – so being prepared could make a lifesaving difference. You can learn the skills needed to assist your family dog or cat in an emergency.

Topics covered include:
Symptoms and care for common ailments and injuries
Managing breathing and cardiac emergencies
Creating a pet first aid kit
How to prepare for disasters
Tips on maintaining your pet’s health and well-being

Each class participant receives a copy of either the dog or the cat first aid manual and a DVD. For more information about Dog and Cat First Aid training contact the Cincinnati Area Chapter of the American Red Cross at 513-792-4000 or 800-241-8296.
