Pet First Aid

Your pet depends on you for his or her well-being. In addition to providing daily care, love and affection, your best friend depends on you in an emergency. Whether your pet becomes ill or injured, or needs help in a disaster, the American Red Cross can help.

CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer from the American Red Cross gives you the confidence and skills you need to provide care for victims of cardiac and respiratory emergencies. The CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer course reflects the latest in lifesaving techniques and information and meets Emergency Cardiovascular Care 2005 Guidelines.
