Wellington Cat Lovers’ Meetup group presents a unique opportunity to take a cat-centered pet first aid course for a specially discounted price. This one-time offer will take place on Saturday May 13, 2017 at 40 Akatea Road in Korokoro Lower Hutt. Spaces are limited, so it’s important to RSVP on the Meetup event page. 

 PET First Aid was created to deal with issues seen specifically in NZ such as poisons. The course is taught by a vet nurse who has a comprehensive ability to talk about issues that can be very species specific. For example, since this course is for people who love cats, the instructor will discuss the common issues surrounding cats and even demonstrate some important rescue techniques on a willing cat.

Each person who attends receives a full colour 64-page manual with the latest updates and research (the manual is updated every year and the 2017 issue is to be released in May). The manual is written in conjunction with two vets and covers 23 different modules from vital signs to CPR, rescue breathing, abdominal obstructions, broken bones, burns, hyperthermia, hypothermia, poisons, bleeding, head injuries, foreign bodies and more. 

They also receive four poison information sheets, two information sheets on plants, one on foods and one on household items, an emergency response plan, a certificate once they have completed the quiz (this is done throughout the course),

Participants also get a sample of Orijen or Acarna food, and a 20% off purchase for Acarna or Orijen pet food. 

Since this is an especially discounted offer, payment must be made in advance. Please send us an email for enquiry and we will tell you the cost and payment method.
