Dogs and cats are more than pets'€”they'€™re family. And just like any other member of the family, pets deserve to be cared for and protected. That'€™s why Fort Wayne Animal Care & Control is teaming with the American Red Cross to offer Dog First Aid and Cat First Aid class on Saturday, March 28 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. at Animal Care & Control.

“We want pet owners to be prepared when their pets need them to be," said spokesperson Peggy Bender. "This class will provide owners with critical first aid tools to help keep pets healthy and safe.”

The $55 class fee includes a choice of a dog or cat first aid manual with DVD to build first aid skills and provide guidance in emergency situations until veterinary care is available.

Additional class information can be found at www.fwacc.org. Registration is required by calling 260-427-5508 by March 19.
