The aim of first aid training is not to find ways to avoid veterinary care, but to learn the best ways to handle certain medical emergencies in order to minimize the potential damage done before you are able to receive veterinary care - at Modern Mutts we offer an in-depth first aid course that both pet care professionals and owners alike can apply to their own lives by learning how to treat shock, perform CPR, bandage and splint, and recognize major illnesses before they progress. These skills can possibly save a life until you are able to receive veterinary care.

​

These skills and the topics listed below are taught extensively during class using the Walks ‘N’ Wags curriculum, and we are proud to offer such an exceptionally comprehensive course. We also have live dogs participate in class to allow students to practice their bandaging and other skills on real, wiggling animals! At the end, each student that passes the exam will receive a 3-year certification and the knowledge that you will be able to handle emergency situations with confidence.
