“Great course, each topic was explained clearly, concisely, with clear demonstrations. I will use this for review. Got some great ideas to telling potential dog parents what I do when first working with a pet and great for list of what to information to get from pet parents and what information and resources I need to have with me. Being informed and educated regarding emergencies will certainly increase my business and show how much I care for their animals. And it's the most economical course that I found for pet first aid certification!
