Area residents will have the opportunity to learn how to help family pets when they need emergency medical care.
The Jersey Coast Chapter of the American Red Cross and NorthStar Vets in Millstone have joined forces to present the public with their first-ever pet first aid training classes May 15-16 at the Millstone Township Community Center on Route 524 in Millstone.
The classes will mirror human first aid courses and consist of a lecture, a video and hands-on work with mannequins.
Participants can take a class 9 a.m.- 12:30 p.m. or 1:30-5 p.m. May 15 or May 16. Class space is limited so interested participants should register as soon as possible.
Those who may not be able to register now should inquire about taking the class in the fall, according to the American Red Cross.
