Louisville, Ky. -- What would you do if your cat or dog suddenly
became ill or was injured? Knowing the right steps to take during an emergency
can protect a pet from further injury or even help save its life. Connected
Learning Network (CLN), an industry leader in web-based distance learning, is
pleased to offer a new Online Pet First Aid Course available at www.petfirstaidonline.com.
“A lot of pet owners don’t realize there are some basic steps they can take in an emergency before they take their pet to the vet,” said Dr. Tom Day, a veterinarian who specializes in emergency medicine and author of “The Pet Lover’s Guide to First Aid & Emergencies.” Day, who served as a professional advisor and contributor to the course added, “This Online Pet First Aid Course is designed to teach basic emergency first aid from the comfort of your own home at your own pace so you can help prevent injury to yourself and further injury to your pet.”
Through detailed instruction and videos,
pet owners will learn how to:
• recognize emergencies
• provide emergency life support
• handle sudden illness
• care for wounds, bleeding and burns
• treat physical injuries

Course participants will better understand normal pet behavior and how to recognize behavioral changes. There are opportunities to check your understanding of the content throughout the course.
