At DogCity West Seattle, our commitment to your pup’s well-being goes far beyond grooming, daycare, and boarding. We’re thrilled to share that on December 14, our entire team achieved certification in Pet CPR and First Aid through a specialized course offered by CPR Seattle. This significant step reflects our dedication to providing top-tier care and ensuring that every dog entrusted to us receives attention from not just friendly faces, but also skilled professionals trained to handle emergencies.
A Commitment to Your Pet’s Health and Safety
Why did we invest in Pet CPR and First Aid training for our entire staff? Because we know how crucial it is to be prepared for any situation. Dogs, like humans, can experience sudden health issues or accidents, and when you bring your furry friend to DogCity, we want you to have complete peace of mind. Knowing that everyone on our team—from groomers to daycare attendants—is equipped with lifesaving skills means that, should the unthinkable happen, we’ll respond promptly and effectively.
The Importance of Pet CPR and First Aid Training
Pets can encounter various emergencies: choking, allergic reactions, heatstroke, or unexpected injuries during play. While no one wants to imagine their beloved companion in distress, being prepared makes all the difference. CPR Seattle’s Pet CPR and First Aid course covers a range of essential techniques, including how to recognize signs of distress, safely restrain an injured animal, and administer life-saving CPR if necessary.
Even the most cautious environments can’t guarantee accidents won’t happen. A dog might swallow something they shouldn’t, experience a sudden allergic reaction, or slip during play. Without proper training, staff might not know how to respond effectively. With this certification, we’ve removed the guesswork and replaced it with confidence and competence. Our team members can now quickly assess a situation, decide the best course of action, and help stabilize a dog until they can receive professional veterinary care.
Building Trust Through Transparency and Education
We understand that choosing a pet care provider is a matter of trust. You’re leaving a member of your family in someone else’s hands, and you deserve to know that those hands are capable, informed, and caring. Sharing our team’s new certification status is our way of being transparent about our qualifications. By openly discussing our training and commitment to ongoing education, we aim to reassure you that your dog’s safety is our highest priority.
A Team-Wide Accomplishment
It wasn’t just one or two team members who took part in the Pet CPR and First Aid course—every single member of DogCity West Seattle invested their time and energy to become certified. This group effort ensures that no matter which staff member your dog interacts with, they’re in the care of someone who knows what to do should an emergency arise.
From our front-desk staff who welcome you with a smile, to the bathers and dryers ensuring your pup’s grooming experience is smooth, to the daycare attendants monitoring playgroups, everyone is now equipped to respond to emergencies. This creates a safety net that spans our entire operation. Whether it’s early in the morning or late in the afternoon, you’ll find a trained individual ready to act if needed.

At DogCity West Seattle, our vision goes beyond providing premium grooming, daycare, and boarding services.
