Pet Parents
Never Feel Helpless Again
Emergency & Wellness Training for Cats and Dogs
There's nothing worse than watching your dog try to cough up a half-eaten bone and not know how to help.
Our pets share the world with many life-threatening things: plants, people food, chemicals, snakes, bees, spiders, and so much more. We can't eliminate them all, but we can learn how to live safely with them.
Linda Edwards had to learn the hard way to live with these dangers when a Brown Recluse spider bit her Scottish Deerhound Brindle.
Through her pet first aid and emergency care classes, Linda has helped hundreds of pet parents in Charlotte and across the Southeast become proactive and educated pet parents.
I took this class because my dog choked on a daffodil right in front of me and I was helpless.
The only thing I knew to do was pat his back. His tongue was blue, it was Sunday night when vets were closed and it was getting worse. He eventually coughed it up, but I felt helpless. If you don't want to feel that way - call Linda. With her hands-on class you'll feel more confident in your abilities to save your best friend. Don't be a victim, learn to save your furry friend. Thank you so much for the knowledge you gave me and my family. - Thomas Neal
