Pet First Aid

Can You Help Your Pet in an Emergency?

The Edmonton Humane Society is again offering Pet First Aid courses. The Pet First Aid course will provide participants with a basic knowledge of first aid for dogs and cats, emphasizing prevention of illness or injury and correct handling of ill or injured animals.

Please note, we have decided to merge the dog and cat classes.  Material for both cats and dogs will be covered and practiced in the four hour course. You may choose one Pet First Aid book (specific to dogs or cats) that is provided with the course. You may purchase an additional book at a cost of $20.00 (cash or cheque) on the day of the course.

Each participant will be given a Pet First Aid book (specific to dogs or cats) by the American Red Cross as well as a DVD.
