First Aid for pets launches January 15th 2027
Most household poisons show signs within a few hours. The gap that hurts pets is the wait between the first odd sign + the phone call.
A choking pet cannot clear the blockage on its own. Obstructions leave zero margin for hesitation.
Heatstroke moves in minutes, not hours. Once core temperature passes 106°F, organ damage starts fast, so cooling on the way to the ER is what buys time.
Most tick-borne infections need hours attached to pass on, so a daily check + fast removal really is prevention.
A puncture that looks small can tunnel deep under the skin. Cleaning only the surface is how those turn into abscesses.
Pet first aid starts January 15. Take your code now, no email needed.
Reserve your spot below
*Valid on pet first aid until March 31, 2027. Manhattan venue + times announced soon.
Three hours that change what you’d do in the worst moment.
One course for dogs + cats, covering pet first aid, CPR + BLS.
At your home. $100 a person · 3 hours · from January 15. Your household + staff learn together, your pets welcome to stay. One starter kit for the household.
Group class. $100 a person · 3 hours · up to 10 people. A Manhattan venue to be announced, people only. A starter kit for each person.
Both. Hands on, dogs + cats, certified for two full years.
Most pet parents have a plan for the vet. Almost none have one for the minutes before it.
Those first minutes are often the ones that matter most. They’re also the ones you’ll face alone. In one session you’ll know exactly what to do, calmly + in the right order, for dogs + cats.
Dogs + cats are wired to hide when something hurts.
So we teach you to see it anyway. Learn your pet’s normal: heart rate, gums, breathing + temperature. Read dog + cat body language, two completely different languages. Build a first aid kit around your pet + know every piece in it. Once you know normal, wrong jumps out at you, often early enough to stop it becoming an emergency.
In an emergency, nobody rises to the occasion. We fall to the level of our training.
So you train for real, hands on: CPR + rescue breathing sized for a Great Dane or a kitten, choking + blocked airways, bleeding + wound care with one simple rule you’ll never forget. Skills you hope you never use + will never regret learning.
Some of the biggest risks to your pet are already inside your home. A few are probably in your kitchen right now.
You’ll know them on sight + know what to do: poisons, burns, shock + fractures, how to move an injured pet without making it worse, plus how to keep them safe through Manhattan’s heat + cold, every season.
Most first aid kits are opened for the first time in the middle of an emergency.
Not yours. Every place includes a starter pet first aid kit that’s yours to keep. You’ll know every piece in it before you leave, so the first time you open it is never the moment you need it.
Care for someone else’s pet? Proof matters.
Every attendee leaves certified, valid for two full years, for dogs + cats. For walkers, sitters, nannies + household staff, it’s a credential families notice + one worth adding to your resume.
Everyone your pet relies on, so whoever is home is ready.
Pet parents of dogs + cats
Whole households + family members
Dog walkers, sitters + nannies
Household + estate staff with a pet in their care
Groomers, daycare + boarding teams
