Safety Issues for Your Pets
As pet parents and pet care professionals, we have a lot of choices and decisions to make about our pet’s daily activities, habits, and health. Many people enjoy outdoor activities with their pets and considering the environment is important. Whether it is seasonal conditions or the choice of activity we should always be paying attention to our pets’ needs and safety. Learn about seasonal dangers, heat/cold injuries,
environmental poisoning and more.
Here’s a short, but super-helpful, video that’s jam-packed with helpful safety tips for you and your pets!
Pet Safety, Pet CPR & First Aid at Sunland
Many pet owners can keep their pets happy and healthy by learning more about First Aid. As facility
caregivers, we want what is best for our camp visitors. We want them to be happy, healthy and have the best life that we can give them. There are plenty of factors that go into taking care of your pets and their safety at Sunland.
Paying close attention to your pet’s needs is our top priority. Factors such as breed, age, and medical
conditions, as well as diet and nutrition with exercise, sunlight, and fresh air, are just a few things we focus on when your pets are at Sunland Acres Pet Camp.
What is Pet CPR & First Aid?
Pet First Aid refers to emergency treatment administered to an injured or sick pet before professional medical care is available. Things such as bleeding, bandaging, seizures, fractures, and more. If you don’t already have a first aid kit handy or would like to learn more about things to have in a situation where a pet needs immediate medical care, we would love to assist.
The Pet First Aid kits include:
1. The PetSaver Program, issued in class.
2. Dressings & bandages
3. Instruments (thermometer, tweezers, etc.)
4. Ointments, disinfectants & medicines
5. Miscellaneous (flashlight, razors, muzzle)
Pet CPR refers to rescue breathing (mouth-to-snout resuscitation) and chest compressions. In the rare
circumstance that a pet is found unresponsive and has no breathing or heartbeat, we begin CPR within 12
seconds.
