Do You Know How To Help Your Pet In An

Emergency?

At DFW Pet First Aid we teach you the skills you need so that you can react quickly when every second counts

Would you know what to do if your pet came in with a bleeding gash on his leg, suffered a snake bite or bee sting, choked on a chew toy, or simply stopped breathing?

According to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) 1-out-of-4 more pet would survive, if just one pet first aid technique was applied prior to getting emergency veterinary care.

Our Pet First Aid classes will provide you with the skills to help you give your pet a better chance of survival should an emergency occur.

Danielle, owner of Protecting Max, is a certified Pet Tech PetSaver instructor and we can now offer another way to ensure that your pets stay Happy and Healthy by offering Pet First Aid Classes for DFW pet owners and pet care professionals.

One of the skills we teach is the Snout-to-Tail Assessment. Read how this saved one pet’s life . . .

A pet owner who took a Pet Tech class loved her little dog because she did her homework assignment of the Snout-to-Tail Assessment. Where you go from Snout-to-Tail with deliberate intent and purpose creating a baseline of your pet’s health. Also, so that you know more of what is normal for your pet, so you can more quickly recognize what is not normal for your pet. She found mammary tumors growing on her dog. She took her to the vet, who confirmed the diagnosis. Luckily she caught it early enough that treatment was successful. However, the vet did tell her that if she had let that go just another five or six months, the outcome may not have been as good. This simple skill that can take only a few minutes added thousands of minutes to this pet’s life.

When I tell this story in the classroom, some people wonder how she didn’t notice the mammary tumors in the first place. The thing is that she never really put her hands on her dog, from Snout-to-Tail, with deliberate intent and purpose, like we teach in the class. She said she would come home from work, make her dog dinner, have dinner herself, her dog would sit on her lap and she would pet it.
