Pet CPR & First Aid Class

  • 1322 N Clybourn Ave Chicago, IL 60610 United States of America (map)

Join us for a hands-on educational workshop led by Alice Murtas from Better Veterinary, following principles from the RECOVER Initiative — the leading authority on veterinary CPR guidelines.

Emergencies can happen when we least expect them. Being prepared can make all the difference. During this 2.5-hour class, you’ll learn practical skills to help you feel more confident responding in emergency situations involving your pet.

What You’ll Learn

This class will cover:

  • How to perform CPR on dogs

  • What to do if a dog is choking

  • Basic first aid for paw injuries and wounds

  • Signs that indicate a pet may be sick or injured

  • Safe tick removal procedures

  • How to respond calmly and effectively in urgent situations

Participants will receive a Fire Hydrant Certificate of Completion. While this class does not include official RECOVER certification, Alice can provide guidance on how to pursue RECOVER certification separately for those interested.

Who This Class Is For

  • Pet parents who want to feel more prepared in emergencies

  • Dog walkers, pet sitters, and pet professionals

  • Anyone responsible for the care of a dog

  • Families wanting practical safety skills

No prior medical knowledge is required.

Spots Are Limited. The class sizes will be small to allow time for questions and discussion.
