Why is it important to know how to help your pet in an emergency situation?

For the same reasons it’s important to know how to help your human family members if something alarming happened and their health or safety was compromised.

 

 

 

Dogs will be dogs, they run and smash into things, sometimes they fight, sometimes they eat things that they shouldn’t. If they do and you don’t step in on time, injuries could become far worse and possibly even fatal if not tended to on time.

I am Pet First Aid Certified through Walks ‘N’ Wags Pet First Aid, I am so happy with the course that I want to share with you my own testimonial for the course based on a very recent incident involving my own dog, Bruna:

“Last week, one of my dogs was bitten in the ear by another dog and I was able to respond quickly and efficiently to stop the  bleeding and prevent infection.  I could not be happier knowing that I was able to think on my feet that way. I reached for my first aid kit and off I went, cleaning and bandaging and feeding her treats.  Sure she tried to paw off the bandage wrapped around her little pug head, but the entire experience was positive, calm, and quick. Before I knew what to do in this particular emergency, I would have yelled, screamed, cried bloody murder and brought her to the nearest vet in a panic making my poor dog that much more afraid, worried, and concerned about what was going on. Her ear has since healed up perfectly!”
