Carrington Colleges Group Announces Multi-Campus Pet First Aid Event
April 13 2012 - 3:06PM
Business Wire
Carrington College® and Carrington College® California, part of
Carrington Colleges Group, will host a “Paw it Forward” event at
select campuses on April 24 and 27 from noon until 5 p.m.
Complimentary veterinary services will be offered as well as pet
first aid instruction to help promote the importance of animal
first aid knowledge. An instructor and students studying in the
veterinary field will be on-hand to share tips about how to manage
pet first aid concerns including wrapping wounds, taking
temperature, and instructing on how to proactively maintain a pet’s
health.
“With April being Pet First Aid Month, we feel this is a
wonderful opportunity to educate the community on how to best
prepare for the unexpected pet emergency,” said Rob Paul, president
of Carrington Colleges Group. “Most people are prepared for family
emergencies but not for their pet, so we will teach owners how to
properly handle an emergency such as an allergic reaction or eye
injury so their pets may live a long and happy life.”
The “Paw it Forward” event is free and open to the public.
Faculty and students will be on-hand to show pet owners the
importance and implementation of first aid techniques, and provide
complimentary veterinary services that include ear cleaning and
nail trimmings.
“At Carrington Colleges Group we work to integrate ourselves
into the community through events that are mutually beneficial to
students and area residents,” Paul said. “This event provides pet
owners the opportunity to learn potentially lifesaving techniques
and gives our students the opportunity to interact with the public
and hone their skills in the veterinary profession they are looking
to specialize in.”
This is the second “Paw it Forward” event the group is hosting.
The first was in February at the Carrington College California
Pomona campus, which was declared a huge success. Students
performed routine vet check-ups on more than 30 dogs and a cat.
“This was such a great event and we were extremely impressed with
how the staff and students made our rescue dogs feel so
comfortable. The special care truly brought a sparkle back to their
eyes,” said Lance Hunter of Baldwin Park Animal Shelter.
