Minnesota Therapy Animals
Your partner/pet depends on you for his or her well-being.  In
addition to providing daily care, love and affection,  Your best
friend depends on you in an emergency.  Whether your pet
becomes ill, or injured, or needs help in a disaster, knowing
pet first aid can be your best asset.

In a joint effort, therapy teams and the Twin Cities Red Cross came together to
promote the awareness and need for pet owners to know Pet First Aid.  
Demonstrations took place at the Pet Expo in February.
