The premier training provider in CPR and First Aid training now offers training to assist 4-legged family members and minimize suffering until veterinarian care is available. Known as "The PET (Pet Emergency Training) Project", we offer classes to the public at the Heartland CPR office located near NW 122nd & MacArthur as well as customer locations when a group of eight or more can be met. We use the Feldman pet (dog) CPR program and all participants receive handouts in our classes. In addition to CPR, we have developed a 70+ slide PowerPoint-based class covering virtually every emergency common to pets, highly emphasizing dogs and cats. Over 50 of the topic slides are illness/injury specific and the remainder are things we cover such as:
Prevention of Emergencies
Medications that can be Used (Dog/Cat specific)
Pet First Aid Kits
Getting to Know Your Pet (Baseline Stats)
Triage/Order of Urgency
Restraining
CPR (Feldman info)
AR
Bandaging & Splinting Techniques
Purpose of Basic First Aid
Shock
Injury/Illness Specific (50+ topics)
We began offering courses to the public beginning June 2014 as many locally have voiced to us their desire for affordable pet emergency training; the only other available training of this type starts around double what we charge for individual participants (and increases astronomically to become an instructor which is then passed along to participants) and we felt very strongly when researching which program we wanted to bring to the market that we wanted something that was affordable for pet lovers and pet owners, not only those that own businesses and make their living involving pets. The cards issued to the participant upon completion will not only list the participant’s name (for those needing proof of training), but the card also folds open to reveal a place to list a pet’s vital statistics which are needed when an emergency arises. Like all the courses we offer, we will come to a customer location to train groups of 8 of more; groups of 16+ get 10% off. For individuals or smaller groups wishing to take the training, we will have classes at our OKC office locations various days/times to fit about any schedule. We have begun limited marketing for Heartland CPR’s PET Project via a page and have a webpage dedicated for this venture, http://heartlandcpr.com/ThePetProject.html. Thanks for your interest in Heartland CPR!
