Pet First Aid is the immediate care given to an injured or suddenly ill pet as temporary assistance until competent veterinary care is available. Properly applied first aid can save your pet’s life, reduce recovery time and be the difference between temporary disability and lifelong disability. This program concentrates on basic first aid care. It is not intended to replace veterinary care, but rather to instruct the pet owner on how to save a pet’s life during an emergency or to minimize a pet’s trauma after an injury.

Pierce Township Fire Department in conjunction with the American Safety and Health Institute (ASHI)
is proud to offer Pet First Aid courses for the community for $25 per person. These classes
are normally scheduled for the first Saturday of each month starting at 9 a.m.

course and would like to pre-register please contact Asst. Chief Scott Light at 752-6273 or send an email to Public Education on our contact page.
