Dog First Aid and Cat First Aid offered through the Red Cross

Created for conscientious pet owners, two new volumes from the American Red Cross Safety Series—Dog First Aid and Cat First Aid build first aid skills and provide guidance in emergency situations until veterinary care is available. Both manuals are bundled with a DVD in the back cover that demonstrates how to perform many of the first aid steps described in these books.

Topics covered include:
• Symptoms and care for common ailments and emergencies
• Creating a pet first aid kit
• How to prepare for disasters
• Tips on maintaining your pet’s health and well-being.

OUR CHAPTER TEACHES only DOG FIRST AID
