Calling all pet parents to Bandra

Harley's Corner, a manufacturer of home-cooked healthy dog food, is all set to bring a series of sessions to help you understand how to conduct first-aid on your four-legged friends. Titled 'Wag This Way', it is an Interactive Medical & First Aid Training Session to be conducted at Bonobo, Bandra. 

The first of the four sessions begins this Sunday from 11 a.m. till 4 p.m.with Dr. Amrita Deb, Veterinarian and Founder of Wildvets. She will ​be conducting a 30–45 minute hands-on session on teaching pet parents everything about the health-related aspects and first-aid for their pets.

Ishmeet Singh Chandiok, Founder, Harley’s Corner, shares, "We have realised that as pet parents, there is a lot that we do not know about our pets. While understanding that fun, games and food are awesome for our dogs,we also have to educate ourselves as pet parents to know that in the event of any emergency, be it from a medical, training, grooming or nutrition point of view, we have to update ourselves with the need-to-know basic information."

Dr. Amrita Deb, Veterinarian and Founder of Wildvets, will cover the following points:

• Importance of first-aid for a dog
• Warning signs that require immediate attention
• Common emergency situations in household pets

This will be followed by a demonstration of some basic first-aid techniques such as:

• How to tie bandages and tourniquets
• How to control bleeding in case of traumatic wounds
• Management of burn wounds and chemical injuries
• How to measure temperature, pulse, respiration (TRP) in your pet
• Assessment of oxygen status and blood flow in your pet
• Reacting to common medical emergencies like swallowing of poison/toys
• First-aid for seizures till the time you reach the vet
