Rescuing Rover or Helping Fluffy Feel Better
BEFORE Veterinary Help is Available
APRIL 1st, 2020…FAYETTEVILLE, NC…Has your pup's tail ever been closed in a door? Have you discovered ticks on your long-haired cat? What would you do if you found a dog in a parked car on a warm day or noticed your cat looked more like a bulldog due to a bee sting? Although our animal friends cannot currently contract COVID19, April marks National Pet First-Aid Awareness Month, and is a topic pet parents should have on their minds year-round! This is a great time to make sure you are PAWpared with skills and an up-to-date kit.
According to Denise Fleck, The Pet Safety Crusader™, who has taught more than 20,000 pet parents and professionals animal life-saving skills, “Veterinarians are the experts, but most of us are not lucky enough to have one velcroed to our hip 24/7. Odds are that when the dog stops breathing or kitty cuts her paw, you will be home alone and it will be after veterinary hours. Knowing pressure points to minimize blood loss, how to induce vomiting or lower a pet’s body temperature can mean the difference between life and death. YOU can be your pet’s hero if you learn how to rescue Rover or help Fluffy feel better BEFORE professional medical care is available.”
Denise is thrilled to have trained Teresa Blackwell of Carolina Pet Care Services, Inc. to teach Pet First Aid & CPCR (yes, there is a 2nd “C”) in your community. According to Blackwell, “I am excited to bring this much-needed service to Fayetteville. Pets are part of the family, and knowing how to help alleviate their pain and prevent further injury is not only our responsibility, but an act of kindness for the love they bring into our lives.”
By knowing Pet First Aid you can:
-
Lower your pet’s body temperature to prevent brain damage or death.
-
Minimize blood loss and prevent infection by properly bandaging a wound. Knowing where the critical arterial pressure points are on your pooch can be a life-saver!
-
Alleviate choking with the doggie Heimlich-like maneuver.
-
Expel poison from your pet’s system by properly inducing vomiting.
-
Be the pump your pet's heart can't be, moving life-giving blood and oxygen throughout his body, until you can get him to professional medical help.
