First Aid and CPR Training for Your Pet Business

For years First Aid & CPR training has been on the radar of most pet care businesses. You’ve sent leadership to courses and possibly even trained your full team. How long has it been since the last training? Are your team’s skills up-to-date and ready to manage an emergency?

We recently talked with Beth Bowers, master instructor for Pet Tech and Jennifer Wolf-Pierson, a new Pet Tech instructor. You will want to watch this video to understand why current best practice is to ensure your entire pet care staff are trained and updated frequently on use of their first aid skills. You don’t want the tragedy that happened at Jennifer’s pet business to happen in yours.

You’ll also learn from the video how you can use your investment in pet first aid and CPR training as a marketing tool and safety benefit for your pet business to stand apart. We also discuss tips for cheat sheets that need to be part of your pet first aid kit. It’s also really important to ensure all items in the kit are not expired. Did you know hydrogen peroxide loses effectiveness to induce vomiting six months after the bottle is opened? 

There are a lot of choices for first pet aid and CPR training for your pet business. There are two main reasons we recommend Pet Tech as our top choice. One is the great tips they include that are specific to professional pet care applications. The second is the in-person classes that ensure your team leaves with confidence to use their new knowledge and skills in addition to their certificate. 

Pet Tech also offers instructor training that allows you the ability to keep your full staff trained. You’ll also be able to generate revenue from your investment by training clients and other pet professionals in your community. With so many first-time pet owners and new team members it’s time to ensure your safety training and SOP’s are aligned with current industry best practices. Learn some great tips in our video discussion with Beth and Jennifer on how to ensure you are ready to prevent and/or handle emergencies in your pet business.
