Pet First Aid Classes
Pet First Aid & CPR Classes for Pet Parents & Pet Professionals
It is estimated that up to sixty percent of animal hospital visits are the result of emergencies. Learning pet first aid skills can save pets’ lives, prevent long-term disability, and reduce veterinary costs. Plus, a proper response can shorten recuperation time, reduce pain, and set an injured or ill pet up for success.
When you take our pet first aid class, you’ll not only prepare for pet-related emergencies, but you’ll also learn about your pets’ physiological needs, how their bodies work, and what they need to thrive. Getting to know your pet more profoundly not only improves your relationship but also strengthens your bond and connection with them.
For pet professionals, Pet First Aid Training elevates your skill set, better establishes you as an expert in your field, and prepares you for inevitable tough days on the job. It also ensures your clients’ peace of mind and their pets’ well-being.

Benefits of Taking a Pet First Aid & CPR Class
Pet first aid is the immediate care given to a pet that has been injured or fallen ill. It includes a wide range of situations and circumstances, including poisoning prevention and management, bite and sting protocols, bleeding and choking management, and a lot more. Pet first aid skills are designed to address common pet-related emergencies, things that can happen to any pet parent or professional, regardless of how responsible and knowledgeable you may be.
PetTech®’s tagline is Your Pets Are Counting on You, and at Auntie M Pet Care, we know pet parents count on pet professionals to support their pets when they are away, which is why all of our pet sitters and dog walkers are trained in pet first aid. It’s also why we are happy to train pet professionals from competing businesses. The more knowledge we share, the better life will be for Silicon Valley pets.
Of course, we can’t always be there for others’ pets, which is why we urge pet parents to take our Pet First Aid and CPR class. Investing a few hours of your time today could make a world of difference for your beloved pet(s) tomorrow.

What Silicon Valley Pet Parents Are Saying About Auntie M Pet Care’s Pet First Aid Classes
“I love traveling, birding, and nature photography. Retirement has freed me to travel as much as I want. I wouldn’t feel as free in doing this if I didn’t have you to help look after my cat and home”
