BOCA RATON, Fla. (May 5, 2009) — For nearly 40 years, the Count & Countess de Hoernle
Service Center of the Saturday May 9th from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., the organization’s focus
will be the four-legged, furry friends in the community.The Red Cross has partnered with
several area vendors to host its first-ever Doggie Paw-ty, a free event for pet owners and
their pups, that will provide information on how to keep dogs healthy, how to prepare for a
pet-related emergency, and how to recognize and respond to a medical emergency until
veterinary care is available. At the Doggie Paw-ty, the organization will premiere a Dog
CPR/First Aid DVD and will have a Dog First Aid guide available for purchase.
There are 44 million dog owners in the U.S. “The Dog First Aid guide is a must-have for pet
lovers—homes with dogs really should not go without it,” points out Red Cross CEO Larry
Casey. “We know pet owners enjoy a very special bond with their pets—they’re part of the
family. Just like with people, accidents and emergencies can happen and being prepared by
knowing what to do could make a lifesaving difference,” continues Casey. The Greater
Palm Beach Area Chapter of the Red Cross also offers a Pet First Aid course, a two and a
half-hour session that provides hands-on training.
Guidance from “Dog First Aid” includes:
• The best way to recognize and respond to an emergency is to know what is normal
for your dog and know how to recognize an emergency.
• To determine dehydration, pull up the skin at the back of your dog’s neck; it should
spring back to the normal position immediately.
• It is crucial to keep your pet’s vaccinations up-to-date. Puppies require a series of
inoculations. Take your adult dog to the veterinarian at least yearly.
“This manual is another lifesaving resource that supports our mission of keeping local
residents and their families healthy and safe,” added Casey. “It’s a perfect addition
to home reference libraries and makes a great Mother’s Day gift!”
Local vendors who will participate in the Doggie Paw-ty include Pet Smart of Delray Beach,
Beast to Beauty of Boca Raton, Tweedle Pet Products of Delray Beach, Club Bow Wow of
Boca Raton, Critter Sitter of Boca Raton, TLC Animal Hospital, Tri-County Humane Society,
and Bow Wow, Meow & More of Boca Raton. For more information on the Red Cross’ Pet
First Aid programs or to RSVP, please call (561) 994-2060.
