What is Canine CPR?

CPR is short for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. It is a combination of chest compression and artificial respiration. It is normally used when you cannot feel or hear the dog’s heart beat. Once the dog stops breathing the heart will go into cardiac arrest and cease beating. Because performing this procedure please keep in mind that Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is hazardous and can cause physical complications or fatal damage if performed on a healthy dog. It should only be performed when necessary. It is also equally important to understand exactly what and how you are performing CPR. That’s why here at AGA we have decided to enact a seminar to help our students be better equipped to handle the pet industry field.

Saving a pet’s life is important to all pet parents and pet professionals. This class for CPR training is open to the public because AGA wants all pet loving people to be prepared if the worst case should happen. CPR is an essential to all pet parents, but it is a specialty that only some people know. At american grooming academy we would like to change this notion of not only our grooming students but of all pet parents.

Here at AGA we believe that the best pet industry professionals are the ones who continue learning, therefore our students and alumni are always returning for classes and seminars. American Grooming Academy would like to invite ALL pet care professionals and parents to join our first ever CPR class from PetTech! visit our website and current events for more information.
