Want to know more about Dog CPR, emergency and safety. Bri with Clipper-Doodle-Do the Des Moines Dog Groomers is hosting an opportunity to save lives. Contact Bri.

Hi guys ,

As most of you know I strive to keep your fur babies safe in my salon . I am the grooming instructor at dmacc and I find it VERY important to know pet CPR and pet safety when you own a pet business . I am offering this to pet professionals and also pet parents . If you’re interested here is all the info !

Hosting will be me ( Bri ) and instructing will be Stephenie Calhoun who is a certified pet tech instructor . Certification is good for two years . Upon finishing the course you will recieve a certification . Class is approximately 5-6 hours long . Bring snacks but snacks and drink will also be provided .

15 people may attend . It is first paid first in class . You will pay me ( Bri ) and I will add you to the class . Once this class is full we will add another day . Sunday the 30th .

Class will be at my salon in urbandale Iowa at Clipper-Doodle-Do the Des Moines Dog Groomers. 7020 Douglas Ave suite k . Urbandale Iowa . 50322.

Price is 150.00 per person .

Below is info on the class .

I personally believe every facility should have cpr certified employees and every salon owner even if not grooming themselves should be certified and encourage employees to be certified . Knowing cpr and pet safety has allowed me to add some cool things to my salon like learning a quick pull loop or emergency loop ties and I have saved two dogs with previous heart conditions when they stopped breathing . I’m very excited to be hosting these classes and hopefully get some more cpr certified people out into the area . Comment below if you’re interested and I will send you the link to my Venmo .
