Pet First Aid Classes
The Pet First Aid & CPR and PetSaver classes are taught using the PetTech curriculum. All classes are taught using the handbook and hands-on, allowing students a chance to practice each skill as it is taught. We place an emphasis on the hands-on and allow students to practice as much as needed. This effective, repetitive teaching style seals in knowledge so students feel comfortable when they leave class to handle any pet emergency that may arise. PetTech offers the only professional training with hands-on practice and is also the first international training center dedicated to CPR, First Aid & Care for dogs and cats.
