(CBS) There are pet spas, pet daycares, and even pet bakeries. But animal lovers want to do more than pamper their pets. They also want to protect them.
So, the American Red Cross is offering pet first aid classes that include the ABCs of pet CPR. And animal lovers are serious about signing up, resident veterinarian Debbye Turner reports.
Rosie Lawson's daughter took in a stray cat, and before long Banjo became mom's best friend. And like any good mother, she wants to be prepared for emergencies.
Lawson says, “To be able to do something in case anything happens to him.”
And she's not alone; a class is full of animal lovers, who want to get savvy with safety procedures that could help a pet in distress.
