Would you know what to do if a cut on your dog's leg was bleeding badly or your pet was having a seizure? Do you know what common household items and foods are toxic for your pet?

The Atlantic Veterinary College at UPEI will hold a public workshop called “Basic First Aid for Your Pet” on Tuesday, March 29, from 7-8:30 pm.

Dr. Kathy Ling, a veterinarian in AVC’s Community Practice Clinic, will provide information about recognizing and dealing with injuries and illnesses in dogs and cats. Topics will include primary assessment, handling an injured pet, bleeding, shock, common toxins, and recognizing signs of pain and distress.

The workshop will take place in Lecture Theatre A at AVC. Admission is free, and everyone is welcome.
