Linda is amazing! She taught me CPR and pet safety using a method that keeps these very important processes front and center when I am with my pets or other people’s pets. Linda provided valuable information that was totally new to me but is crucial knowledge for every pet owner/caregiver. This class is an absolute testament to Linda’s lifelong dedication to animals and their wellbeing. Very professional, fun and enjoyable class. Thank you, Linda!

I recently attended the Pet Saver class offered through Nana's Pet First Aid and CPR. This course exceeded my expectations and went well beyond just sitting in a class to get a certificate. The skills practiced and the information presented were not only valuable to me as a Canine Massage Therapist but as a pet owner as well. Any dog or cat owner would benefit from this class!

If you have a pet business or just love your pet, this is the class for you. The reason I took this class is my dog choked on a daffodil right in front of me. The only thing I knew to do is pat his back. His tongue was blue, it was about to be bad, on a Sunday when vets are closed. Luckily he coughed it up. If you don’t want to feel helpless like the way I felt, I suggest you call Nana. With her hands-on class you will feel more confident in your abilities to save your best friend. Don’t be a victim, learn to save your furry friend.
