Taking Care of Your Pet
Caring for a pet is very difficult. Their inherent high levels of energy mean they either cause trouble or get into it. It’s much like taking care of a young child – a toddler in his or her terrible twos. Despite this, a lot of homes in Canada have pets. Because just like having children, having a pet can bring you joy and comfort – and most of all, love. When pets get hurt, it’s like seeing your child get hurt. In a Pet Pet First Aid and CPR Course class in Regina, you will learn how to manage a variety of pet injuries and emergencies.

Pet First Aid and CPR Certification
The pet first aid and CPR course we offer is a credentialing course. Students who are able to complete the program and pass the final exam are awarded training credentials. You can choose not to take the exam and opt out of certification if you don’t need it. Certificates for Pet First Aid and CPR do not expire and students don’t need to take refresher courses every few years to keep the validity of their credentials. We do, however, encourage certified trainees to retake training every few years to get updated.
Getting started on training: Household Hazards
The home is one of the most common sources of a pet emergency, specifically substances found in the home. Food is a common cause of poisoning because certain food items are deadly to pets. Keep the following food items away from your pets: ground coffee, chocolate, yeast dough, Macadamia nuts, fatty food, Avocado, grapes, raisins, onions, tea, alcohol, salt, and garlic.
Cleaning products are generally safe to use as instructed (e.g. cleaning) but if a pet (or even a human!) ingests the product directly, it can cause internal damage. Remember to store your cleaning products safely and securely away from pets and small children. Also, remember to keep the products in their original packaging – those usually have instructions about what to do during an emergency situation where someone ingests the product.
