Pet First Aid Courses
We are proud to offer the Walks 'N' Wags Pet First Aid course, a recognized National Pet First Aid Certificate course for pet care professional and pet owners. This is a ten hour comprehensive course which is "learner centered". Our goal is to teach students to think and adapt to emergency situations themselves, based on the knowledge and skills acquired in this Pet First Aid course.
Ruffined K9 offers Walks "N" Wags Pet First Aid at the central Calgary location, Central Bark Doggy Daycare as well as the Cochrane and Area Humane Society.
The class sizes are small to accommodate social distancing so be sure to register early!
