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 the pets in their care. 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


Our courses are developed by a team of veterinary and first responder professionals with decades of experience. Our information is 100% veterinary verified to ensure it is accurate and up to date with the latest standards.

"Our facility had a dog go into cardiac arrest during group play. Because my staff receives frequent pet first aid & CPR training, they were able to swiftly recognize and treat the dog. Because they performed high-quality compressions, they were able to resuscitate this pup just outside the door of the vet clinic. Every doggy daycare needs to put their staff through Ready Pet Education's training!"
