There are many programs offered by the Society to benefit the community! Learn more about these programs here:
Pet First Aid & CPR
Temporarily on hiatus
Pet first aid is important! Whether you work with other people’s pets for a living as a dog walker, groomer, or staff member at a boarding facility or you have pets at home and want to be prepared in case of an emergency, we can help. The Pet First Aid course is taught by one of our veterinarians and covers pet first aid and CPR techniques. The emphasis will be on cats and dogs, and life-sized mannequins will be used to mimic working with real animals. Please do not bring your pet to class. The course length is 3 hours, and the fee is $50.
Pre-registration is required. Class sizes are limited. For more information call (312) 645-8098 or email learn@anticruelty.org.
The $50 course fee must be made when registering.
