Your pet is part of the family. And just like any other family member, pets deserve to be cared for and
protected.  With that in mind, the Milton First Aid Squad is proud to announce a new community education class: Pet First Aid!


During this 4-hour class, you will learn how to recognize and respond to a medical emergency involving a cat or dog. You will learn how to create a pet first aid kit and how to give medications to your pet. You’ll learn how to protect yourselves and your pet from further harm, injury, or suffering during emergencies by learning prompt,
effective first ad action and care. You will learn how to perform CPR and provide basic first aid on your cat or dog until veterinary care is available.
