Who we are

If you ask most pet owners, they would say their pets are their babies. Our pets deserve the highest quality of care and love that human can offer. Education helps owners and pet pros understand & communicate with their pets. Pet first aid training can give you peace of mind that'll you will be able to recognize and help your pet should they experience a medical emergency.

Ready Pet Education believes that all pet owners and professionals should have a basic understanding of pet health emergencies. Our courses are designed to take you off the page and into the real world. Our content goes beyond just describing how to treat a condition & includes includes information such as:

1) how to identify when an emergency is happening

2) how to prevent it (if possible)

3) what to do when it happens

4) what to expect when arriving at the vet for treatment

We started teaching in 2018 after seeing the need in the pet services industry. Teaming up with veterinarians, we developed real-world lessons that you can put into action today to help protect your fur babies (and clients).

TESTIMONIALS

  • Our facility had a dog go into cardiac arrest during playgroup - using knowledge they gained during their first aid course, MY STAFF were able to jump into action and perform cpr. I am happy to report that the dog regained circulation before reaching the vet & made a full recovery!
