While these options exist, they are not long-term learning platforms where you watch a vet teach you the techniques, practice what is being taught and then get tested on your retention. While online learning has been proven by the US Department of Education to be a more effective way to learn, it\u2019s only as good as the actual material, mode of presentation and instructor. YouTube videos are fine and dandy but is that information correct?<\/div>\n<p>Learning how to save your pet\u2019s life and knowing how to react when something is wrong is crucial to anyone that spends their life with pets. This includes pet owners and pet care professionals such as dog walkers, pet sitters, trainers, groomers, dog daycare operators and even vet techs. Did you know that vet techs &#8211; the nurses of the veterinary field are never taught cat or dog CPR in their training to become a certified veterinary technician? Crazy right?<\/p>\n<h2>You Care Enough to Know How to Save Them<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-31 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/pet-cpr.jpg\" alt=\"pet-cpr\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/pet-cpr.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/pet-cpr-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re reading this post so you are already intrigued about knowing what to do. It is pretty easy to just dash off to the ER vet, or even your regular vet. I can get an appointment for my dog or cat much faster and easier then I can for myself at my own doctor\u2019s office. That is wonderful but sometimes the added stress and cost of being able to do that isn\u2019t always the best for you or your pet \u2013 certainly not your wallet.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Cost of Veterinary Care<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-32 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/pet-insurance.jpg\" alt=\"pet-insurance\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/pet-insurance.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/pet-insurance-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/>Even with pet insurance the cost of veterinary care is no joke. Depending on your insurance coverage (if you have it), you may still have to pay a good portion of the bill. Pet insurance does not work the same as human coverage &#8211; you pay up front, submit the claim, then wait for reimbursement; with monthly premiums this can all add up.<\/p>\n<p>Please do not get me wrong, you are going to the vet for many issues, this is not to dissuade anyone from going and in fact the course teaches you about knowing when to go and what information to have to help the vet help your pet. Knowing when to go or even more importantly, what you can do before you head to the vet can be crucial for your pet\u2019s survival.<\/p>\n<h3>The Big Picture of a Pet First Aid and CPR Certification Course<\/h3>\n<p>The title of the course doesn\u2019t even begin to sum up the vast skills and knowledge that you will learn. Beyond the sheer volume of over 40 topics you will also learn what to do, what to look out for, and how to act.<\/p>\n<p>If you are going to take the time to learn how to keep your pet safe or recognize issues before they become more serious &#8211; most importantly, get their heart beating again when it stops &#8211; then you will want to make certain you are learning the life-saving information from a qualified person.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Who Teaches Me How to Save My Pet in an Emergency?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Credentials are extremely important; I wouldn\u2019t want to take a cooking class from someone that has never cooked, so why take a class about pet CPR from someone that has never used it to save lives? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/en\/listings\/339639-propethero\">ProPetHero<\/a> is an online cat and dog first aid and CPR certification course taught by a board certified ER vet, Dr. Bobbi Conner DVM, DACVECC. \u00a0She also happens to be a professor of veterinary medicine and critical care; so she\u2019s saved a few hundred lives in her life and she teaches up-and-coming vets how to do the same.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-29 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/cat-dog-first-aid.png\" alt=\"cat-dog-first-aid\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/cat-dog-first-aid.png 360w, https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/cat-dog-first-aid-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/>It\u2019s important to have the right tools in your toolbox; or in this case first aid kit. I hope you never have to use them but in my 30 + years of sharing my life with pets and working with them, I\u2019ve used the skills and knowledge more than I would have liked.<\/p>\n<p>So for less than a night out and less than most wellness exams you can learn from an ER vet on how to help your pet. There are no animal EMT\u2019s so your pet depends on you. Even if you just learn when to recognize when something is not right because you paid attention to when it was &#8211; you are on your way to making your pet\u2019s life better.<\/p>\n<p>A typical <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\">Petworks<\/a><\/span> booked mobile vet visit is 20 minutes, don\u2019t you wish you had more time to learn from them, now you do and for a lot less than the time it would take! So set aside a little time, the course is under 2 hrs but you can take it in bite-sized chunks. It always remembers where you left off so you can take it at your own pace and place that is most convenient for you. After you complete the learning you\u2019ll have the confidence to act in an emergency and take the best care of your pet. You have 2 years access to review the videos to keep the information fresh in your mind and have the correct information at your fingertips.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"x-code\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-59 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/blank-400x114-training-300x86.png\" alt=\"blank-400x114-training-300x86\" width=\"300\" height=\"86\" \/><\/pre>\n<p>Author Bio<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28\" style=\"width: 257px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/cara-armour-257x300.jpg\" alt=\"cara-armour\" width=\"257\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/cara-armour-257x300.jpg 257w, https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/cara-armour.jpg 487w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 257px) 100vw, 257px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cara Armour<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In 2003, Cara Armour co-founded\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.getactivepaws.com\/\">Active Paws Inc<\/a>., a professional pet care business based in the greater Boston, MA area that has expanded to grooming and operating a holistic pet supply store.
