The Grand Feline Hotel and Salon Team Now Pet CPR & First-Aid Certified - https://mailchi.mp/3a9f2db129ec/furst-aid-cpr-newsletter-13361605

There is something special about a team that laughs together and learns together. Today was full of both. 🐾

The Grand Feline Hotel & The Grand Feline Hotel and Salon crew showed up with camaraderie, compassion, and a clear love for cats (and dogs too!). I’m honored to help equip professionals who care this deeply.

Pet CPR in Action with a Kennel Club - https://mailchi.mp/b635b7a20997/furst-aid-cpr-newsletter-13361503

Today was the kind of day that makes my pet-loving heart do backflips. 🐾💚

The Grand Island Kennel Club crew showed up ready to roll up their sleeves and learn how to be true heroes for their pets at a FurstAid CPR & First-Aid class. The energy in the room was electric, the questions were thoughtful, and the commitment to their animals was crystal clear. This is what responsible pet guardianship looks like.

And of course… Juniper reported for duty as our official little Furst Responder demo dog. 🐶✨ She may give me that legendary side-eye that says, “Really, Mom?” but the second I need to demonstrate a restraint, a bandage, or CPR/rescue breathing, she’s all in. Calm, patient, and completely professional. She earns every single treat and cuddle she gets from me and the class members.

Watching everyone practice skills that could one day save their own pet’s life is powerful. Emergencies are loud, chaotic moments, but knowledge brings calm. Today, this group chose confidence over panic. That is love in action.

So proud of this group for investing their time to become their pets’ heroes. 💪🐕🐈
Your furry family members are lucky to have you.

🧊 Watch Those Paws
Ice, snow, and sidewalk salt can cause cracks, burns, and irritation.
• Wipe paws after walks
• Trim fur between paw pads to prevent ice balls
• Consider booties or paw balm for protection

🌬️ Cold Air, Big Risks
If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for them. Short-haired, senior, and small pets lose body heat fast.
• Limit time outdoors
• Use sweaters or coats when appropriate
• Never leave pets outside unattended in freezing temps

🚗 Cars Are Not Cozy
A car can turn into a refrigerator in winter.
• Never leave pets in parked cars
• Cold stress and hypothermia can happen quickly

🧪 Antifreeze = Hidden Danger
Antifreeze tastes sweet but is extremely toxic, even in tiny amounts.
• Clean spills immediately
• Store containers securely
• Seek emergency care right away if exposure is suspected

🔥 Warmth Without Worry
Space heaters and fireplaces attract curious pets.
• Use protective screens
• Keep cords tucked away
• Watch for burns and fire hazards

🧣 Know the Signs of Hypothermia
Shivering, weakness, slow breathing, and lethargy are red flags.
If you suspect hypothermia:
• Move pet to a warm area
• Wrap in blankets
• Use warm water bottles wrapped in towels
• Seek veterinary care ASAP

🧠 Winter Is a Great Time to Learn Emergency Skills
Emergencies do not wait for warmer weather. Knowing Pet CPR and First Aid means you are ready if choking, injury, or cold exposure happens.

Prepared pet parents are powerful pet parents 💪🐶🐱

Stay warm. Stay watchful. Stay trained.
