host America's pet ed You Tyner Ardenmore, Welcome back to
the Old Behave show on pet Life Radio.
Speaker 1: I'm your guest host, Mark Winter and as mentioned, our
special guest is our show host Ardenmore. Welcome Martin.
Speaker 3: Hey, Mark, you're my radio husband. It's so nice. We
have been tag teaming episodes since two thousand and seven,
and I'm proud that we are the largest listen to
pet podcast on pets, so we make a pretty good duel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the first time I'm actually hosting a
show and it's almost nineteen years. This is like the
first time it was due.
Speaker 3: You were due, You were due?
Speaker 1: All right, So let's talk about Pet first Aid. That's
why we're here. So tell us why you decided to
become a master instructor in Pet First Aid and CPR.
Speaker 3: Well, like you, I love pets and like all of you,
tuning in sometimes oh happens. And I've spent the last
twenty plus years in the pet industry and getting my
skills honed in pet behavior. But I realized there was
a missing big piece and that was what skills do
I need to give to help a dog or a
cat who might get injured? And I've been very blessed.
I have a tag team of over a dozen er
and critical care veterinarian They are my advisors, and in
twenty eleven, I launched Pet First Aid for you. It's
the number four in the letter you and everything we
teach Mark is veterinary approved and we always always work
with our advisors, so that what we're teaching all of
you out there, whether you're a pet parent or a
pet professional, is the latest in pet first aid and CPR.
And I just think that helping pets is not a
bad calling. And so I tell people the whole definition
of pet first aid is we're that life saving bridge
between the oh and the veterinary clinics. So in our classes,
it's very hands on, it's very practical, but we teach
you what to do on the scene, how to act,
how to oh behave, and how to get that pet
to the vet safely. So I know how to stay
in my lane. And so to me, it's an honor
to be able to help others know what to do
when oh happens.
Speaker 1: And when you're teaching these classes, you're not like just
standing up there boring lectures, so people are like falling asleep. No,
you do it like really differently. You have four legged assistants.
You have like my buddies, Yes, I do.
Speaker 3: Your niece and nephew, yes, yes.
Speaker 1: Tell us about them.
Speaker 3: Well, let's talk about it. You know, nobody wants death
by PowerPoint. Come on, nobody wants a person to stand
up in front of you and read every word that's
on a slide that puts you in Snoozeland. This is
very interactive. We do have a lot of fun puns
that help people remember. But I would say what really
makes Pet First Aid for you stand out is my
standout four legged teaching team. I have Pet Safety cat, Casey.
He is an orange tabby. He is a certified therapy cat.
He has an opinion on everything. He purrs like a
diesel engine. He walks on a leash. He has been
to eighteen states, mark by car and by Plane's helping
me teach safety and behavior. And then I have the
sweetest terrier on the planet. Her name is Kona nickname
ice Cream ConA and she is also a therapy dog.
So she's very well mannered. And we are now training
a third and that is Nova six toes. She is
a recent adoption we have. She's about twenty three pounds,
twenty different dog breeds and mark she has six count
of six toes on each back paw there should only
be four. And so she is in dog training classes
and she's helping us in classes. So I think what
makes us stand out is we're actually showing you how
to wrap a wound on a real dog and a
cat and deal with the Heimlich and all these other
things on a real cat. I mean, what do you
think of that rather than just always stuff demo dogs?
Speaker 1: No, it's great. How do you train them to do that?
Like to tribe them to let you, you know, do
all these things to them in front of like a
whole bunch of people. And how do you make them
do that?
Speaker 3: Well? I did write the cap Behavior answer Book and
the Dog Behavior answer Book, and I get to work
with a lot of leading behaviorists. I am a fear
free certified speaker, and what I do every day in
every way is to make my pets feel safe. That's
number one, and then welcomed and so with ConA, Casey
and now Nova. They smell my emotional state and so
I am calm around others. And they get a lot
of great Grade A level treats during class. And they
love people. So when we're on a walk and all that,
I'm always honing their skills. They have to sit and
stay and then a person comes up and says, may
I pet ConA and they do. So. They have been
adored by people, tall, short, all over different kinds of ages.
You name it people, and that has built in their
level of acceptance for all people. I mean, it's kind
of cool. We just went into the Barking Hound Village.
It's a big doggy daycare here in the Dallas area,
and I took ConA off releash. Everybody's in their seat
and I said, ConA, go say hi. And I'm not kidding.
For all ten people in that class, ConA went up
to each one and let them say hi to her,
one on one and then I let release the cat.
So Casey's on a harness at leash and he walks
on top of the table and he does a sit
and high five to everybody in class. What do you
think of that?
Speaker 1: That's good. So he's not like Adva saying I'm going
into my trailer now.
Speaker 3: Oh no, no no, He says, I'm here, look at me,
Look at me. So I feel blessed. They're both a
pair of shelter alums. I got ConA when she was
about a year old, and I got Casey when he
was about five months old. And they are living proof
that you can get great, great companions from shelters.
Speaker 1: And it's good. They must love that they have a
purpose in life, not just to sit around eating like
my cats eating and sleeping.
Speaker 3: Well, like I have another dog, Emma, and she's like, no,
I'm staying home on the couch. You guys go go
save lives. So I have to, you know, for everybody
out there, not every pet is a safety dog or
a safety cat, and you have to respect that. My dog,
ConA loves to play fetch, but my previous dog, Chipper,
was a surfer. ConA says, I'm not going in the water.
Don't put me on a board. So you know, I say,
be true to the pets wants and what they feel
comfortable doing. And I'm just blessed that I have now
three that want to be in my first day classes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they must love the attention they do. So why
is it important that pet parents and pet professionals learn
first aid? I mean, obviously, so it's a good thing
to know, But why is it important that they do this?
Speaker 3: Well, let's talk numbers. If something happens to your dog
or cat, and let's say I know you love your
kitty cat, Dennis, and let's say Dennis put something in
his mouth and he started choking and then he passed out.
To be able to know how to do one handed
kitty CPR could be the difference in saving Dennis's life
because every minute the heart has stopped beating, the chance
of you, a dog or a cat surviving actually goes
down ten percent. So we don't make our classes scary.
We make them fun and engaging and interactive. But we
want you as a pet parent and as a pet professional,
like you're a pet sitter, boarding, grooming, vettech, you name it.
We want you to know what to do when when
something bad happens, to safely get that pet to the vet.
So I think one of the best gifts any of
us can give our pets is to know what to
do and what not to do in a pet emergency.
And that's what we do in our classes.
Speaker 1: All right. So, like Arden, if we decide to go
away for the weekend and we have somebody, a friend,
a neighbor watching our pets and something like this happens,
and they haven't taken a pet first aid course and
they don't know what to do. Is there a number
or a zoom or something or an app something that
they can do to get a live person to help
them save your pets life.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, the one thing we recommend for all of our
students is please, whoever's going to be caring for your
pet while you're out, provide them with the name of
your veterinarian clinic, but also the nearest er veterinary clinic
so they have it right there. But they also if
you saw Dennis or or Charlotte eat something and you
think it was toxic, you can call the ASPCA Poison
Control Hotline. It is staff twenty four to seven by
veterinary taxicologist. Third, now there are more and more options
to be able to get a veterinarian online through telehealth
veterinary services. Yeah, there is a charge, but you can't
put a price on saving a pet's life. So I
would definitely urge all of you out there is to
give the number of the aspcaa poison control hotline, your
vet clinic and the local nearest er vet and let
them know how they can get on a telehealth call.
I myself have tons of safety videos out there on
YouTube and in my courses. We can talk about my
options in a minute, but I want you to know
that you do have resources available quickly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great to know, and we're going to find
out more about the classes you teach and all the
other stuff that you do right after this commercial break.
So sit stay, we'll be right back time for a
walk on the red car.
Speaker 2: But of course, Oh Behave, we'll be backing up lash
right after these messages. Oh sure, it's all fun and
games until someone ends up in a cone. That's right.
Speaker 1: We are animals Headline Radio. Let's talk pets.
Speaker 2: Let's talk pats. Let's done pets on Headline Radio, Petlfradio
dot Com.
Speaker 1: Hi thereon Kate Walston.
Speaker 3: I hope you're gonna get in and listen to O
Behave on pet Life Radio with Art Moore, because she's
a delight.
Speaker 1: We're back from the lot.
Speaker 2: Just check the paper and we had our record showing
at the box, the letterbox that is now back to
Oh Behave.
Speaker 1: Here's Arden, welcome back to the O Behave show on
pet Life Radio. I am not Arden Moore. I am
Mark Winter, executive producer of pet Life Radio. But I
am interviewing Art and more so, she is here and
we're going to talk about the pet first Age for
U classes that are offered like everywhere.
Speaker 3: Well, my last name is Moore. Come on, Mark, I
gotta give it to everybody, right. So in twenty twenty five,
we made a big decision and that was we have
for years offered our Pet First Day for You courses
in person when it's geographically feasible and interactive zoom and
we have taught people through those two options in Cairo, Egypt, Mark,
New Zealand. We've taught a bunch of self proclaimed crazy
loving cat people in Greece who took the class in
the middle of the night on their time zone, and
they all showed up on a Zoom call wearing cat pajamas, so.
Speaker 1: That's literally the cat's pajamas.
Speaker 3: But I realized, I'm missing more of us out there
that have pets or care for pets. So we now
added a third option. Anyone, anywhere, anytime can now take
pet First Day for You courses through our self paced
online program. And we did two courses and they feature
The first one is the cat and Dog course and
it features Casey and Kona. And then I know there's
a lot of people out there who have cats, and
we did a separate cat only class featuring Casey, who's
quite humorous in the production, and we made it fun.
I mean, I'm trying to show everybody on camera while
we're filming how to do the kitty Heimlich and case
and Kitty chokes on something Mark and Casey looks up
at me and he yawns on camera, and I'm like,
am I boring you? Casey? And he says, well, I've
kind of done this a lot of times. And then
I say, well, but there are people out there right
now taking our course who've never done the kitty Heimlich.
We got to help them, okay, And he just has
this look on his face like, Okay, that's reasonable. That's
a reasonable request. So you will find the self course
to have some energy, some personality, a little humor, and
definitely hands on with a real dog or real cat.
So we're very happy that we launched that third option.
Speaker 1: Can you use any of these techniques if you have
a pet that's not a dog or a cat, If
you have a pet pig or a chicken or a horse.
I mean, will these techniques be helpful or do these
animals have a completely different physiology?
Speaker 3: You know, I have to be careful because I know
cats and dogs. I would have to yield to the veterinarians.
But we do have some interest in ready for it.
Rabbit first aid, So we're gonna hop into that maybe
down the road. But if I did anything like that,
I would always team up with an expert. There is
a lot of people interested in horse equine first aid.
And what was the other one, pig? Yeah, pet pig.
You know, there is some similarities in the physiologies of pigs, horses,
and rabbits to cats and dogs, but there are some
distinct differences. So before I start offering a whole farm program,
I would definitely team up with an expert with that specie.
And just to give you an example, I love cats
and dogs, but they are not the same. They're not
built the same. And one real big example is if
you suspect your dog or your cat ate a poison
and you're miles away from a veterinary clinic. Maybe you're
doing a vacation with your dog or your cat and
you need to get that poison out. Well, for dogs,
you could call a vetinarian like poison Control Hotline and
they would guide you how to give them hydrogen peroxide
in the mouth to make them hurl. But you never
give hydrogen peroxide to a cat because of the way
they're built. You will cause more harm, so you would
have to maybe monitor their breathing. But you we are not
giving them hydrogen peroxide. You are getting them to the
nearest vetinarian as safely as possible. So in our classes
we do make a distinction. There are some things you
do on a dog you never do on a cat.
There's some things to do on a cat you never
do on a dog. So we're really trying to educate
our teams.
Speaker 1: I want to know about My favorite thing is mutt
geiver tips. I want to know about that. That sounds
like it's fun.
Speaker 3: It is. It's basically hacks. Things you can do when
you don't have a pet first aid kit handy because
no one of us do you go everywhere with a
pet first aid kit in your hand? Do you wear
it like a pendant mark?
Speaker 1: No, people would think I'm weird.
Speaker 3: I'm vetting. You have socks.
Speaker 1: I'm in Florida, so I don't wear them.
Speaker 3: Okay, well pretend you do, but.
Speaker 1: It's cold to sweet, so let's say I do.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And sometimes you may have a sweatshirt or a
hooded sweatshirt that has draw strings. For those that have dogs,
you have a leash handy, you do bathe, So you
have a towel. So I created a whole line of
what to do. Things you can grab around you to
render aid on the scene to a pet using everyday
household items. So let me give you an example. If
your dog or cat came up lame and was not
putting a lot of weight on a paw. If there's
no bone breaking through the skin, which is an open
or compound fracture, you definitely want to splint that because
you don't want them to put more weight on that
leg because they could cause more structural damage and route
to the vet. So in our classes, mut diver is
a concept I created which is how to just look
around and use things to be able to help a
pet in route to the vet. So if you have
bubble wrap, if you have a washed cloth, we put
something soft around the leg. Then the second layer has
to be something stiff to keep the ankle and the
elbow joint from moving. So that's where you have I
don't know if you have emery boards, popsicle sticks, inkpins,
something stiff and you put them on front and back
or side to side, and then the third layer you
got to keep it all together. You can take a bandana.
You can take a nylon leash and you put it
all together, and you just made a mcgiver splint on
a pet. And if you have a big dog and
you need to help get that dog into the car,
you can take a six foot leash or one of
your draw strings from your hoodie or a long athletic
sock and roll it in a bath towel. And now
you have what looks like a pool noodle and you
put it under the iron pits of that dog with
the leash ends you hold above, and you can guide
the dog without hurting them into the car. What do
you think of that?
Speaker 1: In Florida, we might not have a hoodie, but we
might have a bathing suit with a draw string. So
you could use that draw string and you might lose
your bathing suit, but you'll save your dog. That's great.
What if your dog's in pain and he's not being cooperative.
Speaker 3: Yes, we say practice keeps you from getting bit. So
we encourage in our pet Firstate for you classes that
you do one on one little mini sessions, not with
all the other dogs or kids in the household, and
you give really good rewards grade A level treats. So
you're conditioning that pet that when you practice putting on
a makeshift muzzle using a leash to keep me from
biting you when I when you take that leash off,
you get a treat. You speak in a calm voice.
Never never ever baby talk an injured pet, Never ever
ever apologize to an injured pet, because they smell your
emotion state and they're like, oh man, can I have
a hooman that knows what they're doing. This one's not
gonna do it. Say things like Dennis, I gotcha, I'm
here for you, Charlotte, everything's gonna be okay, Molly. Never
go oh, I though I'm gonna help you, because then
they're more act to be protecting themselves and try to
bite you. In our classes, we do show you how
to properly approach an injured dog or cat, and you're
gonna love this. I have ConA on the demo table
facing me, and I say, never face an injured.
Speaker 5: Dog, because it's like the doggye de Niro. You're talking
to me, I'm talking to you. You're talking to me.
I'm talking to you. You're going to get bit. So
you always get behind the pet and you control the
head you control the bite. So we do things like that, Mark.
Speaker 1: And you always say, you know, panic later, but you
know when it's happening, Yeah, you freak out.
Speaker 3: Yeah. We tell everybody you you have permission to freak
out later, and that's important. I talk with a lot
of first responders who take my classes. By the way,
I also teach a two day course for people to
become instructors through pro pet Hero and we have now
trained are you ready for I have trained over five
hundred people certified as Pet First Aid CPR instructors. So
Arden's army is out there and these first responders, they
have taught me to teach others what to do when
something happens, and freaking out later is really important. But
you need to look, listen, smell, safely, touch, assess the scene,
and approach with confidence and calm.
Speaker 1: What do you think, No, that's great. Let's say I'm
in the dog park and my dog steps on something
sharp and now they're pause bleeding. What do I do?
Speaker 3: Panic? The first thing I would do is get that
pet up and out of the dog park because other
pets could get to that dog. And there are some
dogs that feel smell weakness and that could engage a
little bit of them being a bully, but get them out.
If you have to do a makeshift muzzle on your pet,
that's fine, But you want to look at that paw.
You have water, I am hoping you always have water
on you. You can pour the water on the wound
to assess. And I always keep a spare sock in
my car because I don't know about you doing laundry.
But I wash my two pair of white socks, right.
They go on the wash, then I put them in
the dryer and then I pull everything out of the dryer.
Where did one of those socks go? Did it go
to sock Heaven? I don't know.
Speaker 1: They're in the sock lounge.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sock lounge.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And you know eventually all the socks go to
the lounge and they hook up later. But at the moment,
I don't know, they disappear. I don't know where they go.
Speaker 3: Well, take that orphaned white sock and you can use
that to put over the paw that's injured. And you
can then take a spare poop bag and tie it
in place and get the pet to the bat. Always
call ahead, that's another big thing. Always let them know
you're coming. Never show up to a vet clinic with
an emergency because every minute counts and they will be
ready for you when you come. They may even give
you some extra guidance tips.
Speaker 1: You should have the emergency VET and the rerregular VET
their phone numbers in your phone. I'm already ready to
press and maybe even in your GPS. Have everything pre planned, absolutely,
absolutely all right, So tell us about CPR, because that's
really important. Yeah, how do you teach it so people
remember it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, we don't want you to feel scared when
you're in class, and when you get scared, your brain freezes. Right.
So in the segment where I'm teaching how to do
chest compressions and rescue breasts, I make it a little
fun and I let them talk. And one of the
things I came up with is when a dogg or
cat collapses, most human beings have no idea where to
find a heartbeat or a pulse. Now, well, if I
ask you mark, show me on your body how to
find a pulse, you would go wear.
Speaker 1: Right, you go to your neck, or you go to
your wrist.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but most people have no clue that actually on
a dog or a cat, the strongest beat to find
is inside the hind leg on the femeral artery. But
dogs and cats have teeth and claws, so if they
pass out, you need to approach the CPR with your
belly to their back, so you're protecting yourself. And you
always want to have the hand by the head ready
to lay down across their head and their neck in
case they have a startled awake and you keep yourself
from getting bit. So you always use the hand to
do the compressions that's closer to the butt end of
the pet. So if the dog flops on their left
or flops on their right, it doesn't matter because Arden
has this rhyme for you, and it is the hand
that does the pump is closest to the rump. What
do you think of that rhyme?
Speaker 1: I think that's easy to remember.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think if something happened, that would be the first
thing I would remember.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And I've had many people send me testimonials that
I was in their head when their pet collapsed, or
their pet got a really bad arterial bleed, or they
got really really cold, or they got really really hot.
And I have all these little fun phrases I use
in class so that they remember when a pet is really,
really hot, you never give them ice cubes. You never
give them a pack of frozen peas, because the body
is so hot when they meet the very opposite cold,
it's like a symbol crash and they could go into shock.
So you use cool water. And as I say, with
apologies to vanilla ice, ice ice not nice, baby. And
so everybody in class is saying that, and it's meant
to stick in your head so you won't reach for
that bag of ice cubes.
Speaker 1: And remember you told me that you actually saved a
couple pets doing these techniques.
Speaker 3: I've actually done CPR five times, mark, and I have
saved three pets. One of them was my sister's dog,
Mattie beshon frize mix, who got into everything. She got
into container of dental floss, you know those little square things,
and crushed it. I was at my sister's house and
it got into her throat and she started gagging, and
I heard this coffee noise because I was in the
back room, back of the house, and by the time
I got into the living room, I saw her collapsed
on the ground. It was a nice day. They have
a fence backyard. So we got the other two dogs
out of the house and I was able to find
the metal clip. It hadn't fallen completely down, but I
removed it all and she wasn't breathing, and I did
CPR and within about a minute and a half she
woke up. Now, I want to tell everybody when a
pet who passes out, there's different ways they wake up.
Some of them are like, what everything okay? Them, it's anything.
Other are like tired or yawnie or a little withdrawn.
Maddy was like, what did I miss something? Did I
miss something? I'm like, permission to freak out later. So
I gathered all the stuff that I extracted from her mouth.
I called the Alan Ventnery Clinic this is in Texas,
brought the very happy Maddie, who was tethered in the backseat.
I'm like, permission to freak out later, and they did
X rays, they did a physical assessment and she was fine.
But the point is any pet, anytime can have an
uh oh. And I was glad that I happened to
be at my sister's house when that happened, because she
would have passed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good thing. There's a pet professional onseene.
Speaker 3: It's kind of fun because you know when you tell
people your different occupations, When you say you teach pet
first aid, you know, it seems to engage everyone. You know,
you're not selling insurance or you're not doing an HR talk.
Apologies to those professions at they're hard workers, but I'm
so glad I teach pet first Aid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's definitely a lifesaver. What else should we know?
What else could you tell us?
Speaker 3: Well, I hope people will check out pet first Aid
for you and it's pet first Aid the number four
the letter you and you will get on the homepage.
Three options that work for you in person, interactive zoom
or a self paced course. You complete it, you get
a two year veterinary proof certificate. Tell your friends. We
teach a lot of pet sitters and boarding staffs. We're
teaching eighteen people this weekend. It's a pet sitting company
near where I am. And she said, I've been wanting
to take your class forever. So we're going to bring
our team, Casey and Kona, and we're going to get
that whole company certified for someone like you. You know,
you're a pet parent, wouldn't it be nice to know
that the pet boarding or the pet sitting company that's
caring for your kiddies actually is certified in first aid.
Oh yeah, what kind of peace of mind does that
give you? Mark?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know that's what I was saying before. You know,
if you have a neighbor or some when they don't
know pet first aid, you always have that in the
back of your mind, like what if something happens, They're
not going to know what to do.
Speaker 3: That's right, And we make our classes fun. They get
to do things. We're having them wrap a wound, do
a splend, do CPR, deal with choking. So you're not
sitting in a class listening to me talk at you.
We are engaged and it's an experience and you remember
phrases that I teach you, and it's kind of fun.
You should everybody give it a whirl. Now we have
three ways for you to do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm definitely taking this class, so everyone else should.
Speaker 3: Too, all right, And I like that we also focus
not only just dogs, but also cats, and I think
that also sets us apart. So you know, thank you, Casey.
Pet safety can't Casey.
Speaker 1: Especially cats because they're really a lot more difficult than
a dog.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we show you how to wrangle an injured cat.
Speaker 1: Not easy to wrangle a regular one, so imagine if
they're injured. Okay, well, I guess we've learned learned a
lot about pet first aid. So thank you for being
on your own show, and I'm sure you'll be back.
