Training was educational, engaging and easy to follow

I learned a lot through the online and in person training I received through the RECOVER Pet Rescuer Certification course. The training was educational, engaging and easy to follow. Though I hope I will never have to use what I learned on my own pets, I now know what to do to help save their lives.

This course was a great experience and I would recommend it to all

I was so excited when I saw that a RECOVER course for non-medical staff was being offered!  It was a great experience to learn some basic life support skills from some of our most seasoned and expert doctors.  While I hope to never have to use these skills on my own pet or those of my friends and family, I have certainly developed a new sense of confidence that I can provide value in an emergency situation. This course was a great experience and I would recommend it to all of our non-medical staff.  Thank you for offering this opportunity for us!
