Event Details

Join us at the Simsbury Public Library on Sunday, September 10th at 1:30-4:00 pm for a Pet CPR & First Aid Class. This class is designed for anyone interested in “pawtecting” the safety and wellness of animals. Taught by Tom Rinelli of Paws N Claws 911, this highly interactive training emphasizes hands-on skills practice to ensure proficiency in the life-saving skills taught. This training is geared toward teens (12+), their families, and pet parents.

In this class, attendees will learn hands-on skills such as emergency muzzling and restraint, vital signs assessment CPR (Canine & Feline), choking management (conscious & unconscious), & bleeding control/shock management. Participants will also learn how to deal with medical emergencies, environmental emergencies, & pet safety & wellness. Participants will receive a handbook, certificate, & emergency muzzle at the end of class.

Registration will close 24 hours before the event.

Sponsored by the Town of Simsbury Department of Community & Social Services Youth Service Bureau & Simsbury Public Library.
