Pet Tech First Aid class

Yesterday I attended an 8 hour pet first aid class given by Pet Tech in Rockport, Maine.
This is a class all pet owners should take... and certainly one that pet care professionals should attend, as well. The instructors, Mary and Beth were great fun and very good at their jobs.

Each of us had a model dog to work on. We learned to do rescue breathing, CPR, and how to help a choking animal. There were lessons on stopping bleeding, splinting suspected fractures, and bandaging. What a great way to spend a day!
