"Our facility had a dog go into cardiac arrest during group play. Because my staff receives frequent pet first aid & CPR training, they were able to swiftly recognize and treat the dog. Because they performed high-quality compressions, they were able to resuscitate this pup just outside the door of the vet clinic. Every doggy daycare needs to put their staff through Ready Pet Education's training!"
