Pet First Aid & CPR Training
Love your pet? Of course you do! Consider this statistic: one out of four pets would survive if just one pet first aid technique was applied prior to getting emergency veterinary care, according to the American Animal Hospital Association. The time is now for you to arm yourself with knowledge and know how to act in a pet emergency. Just Fur-Babies’ program is the most comprehensive pet first aid course available. You’ll learn all of the latest protocols in veterinarian-approved pet first aid, CPR and pet safety.

Videos and content also included by Bobbi Conner, DVM, a veterinarian board-certified in emergency medicine.
We teach you practical skills in an fun, engaging, interactive format.

Attendee Reviews
highly recommend
I attended Pet First Aid taught by Kelly from Just Fur-Babies and I was very impressed with the class and the knowledge she had on everything related to cats and dogs. We learned how to perform CPR on them as well as how to perform wellness checks on our own pets. It was very informative and I highly recommend this course to every pet owner.
I learned a lot
I appreciated the level of preparation and thinking that went into the class. I think anyone with a pet should take this class. I learned a lot of valuable information.
Just Fur-Babies also offers dog walking, pet taxi, and pet first aid classes in Kansas City.
