Pet First Aid Awareness Month, April 1-30, 2010 celebrates the importance of learning the necessary skills of CPR, first aid and care for our four-legged, furry, family members. Pet First Aid is the immediate care given to a pet that has been injured or suddenly take ill. This includes home care and when necessary veterinary help. Knowing the skills and techniques of pet first aid can mean the difference between life and death; temporary and permanent disability; and expensive veterinarian bills and reasonable home care. It is estimated that one-out-of-four more pets could be saved if just one basic skill or technique was applied before receiving veterinary care.
Our theme for Pet First Aid Awareness Month 2010 is Pets & People Staying Healthy Together. Along with our ongoing message, this year, we are promoting Pets & People Staying Healthy Together. The five elements for optimal wellness and staying healthy include the Human-Animal Bond, Knowing Your Pets’ Health, Exercise, Proper Nutrition / Water and Quality Supplementation.
