Teaching First Responder’s About K9 EMS

A little training goes a long way

MySafe:LA’s commitment to pet safety extends to our friends in the Search and Rescue community. There are few dogs that work harder, and are more exposed to potential injury than a FEMA certified search and rescue dog. That’s why we sponsor K9 Critical Care Clinics.

Each clinic features a veterinarian experienced in canine trauma care. We use a combination of classroom lecture with group skills breakouts and K9 handlers learn:

• canine anatomy
• restraint methods
• how to perform a physical exam
• how to start an airway
• bandaging and splinting
• canine CPR

Handlers get “Ready Dog” professional first aid kits, t-shirts and other goodies, and most importantly, have the chance to try hands-on life-saving skills with their search dog partners, while professional vets look on.

If you’re interested in booking a clinic for your working dog group, call us today at 213-634-0100.
