Certified Pet Resuscitation: Elevating the Climate of Care
At Certified Pet Resuscitation, our mission is to strengthen the skills and confidence of veterinary professionals across Michigan and beyond by providing RECOVER certification through hands-on, evidence-based emergency training. While certification is one powerful path, we believe that preparedness means more than checking a box. It means cultivating the readiness to act with clarity, compassion, and competence when every second matters.
We offer a wide range of engaging, practical training experiences, including:
RECOVER BLS & ALS Certification Workshops - [OPTIMAL STANDARD OF CARE]
Learn the latest veterinary CPR guidelines with confidence through certification in Basic and Advanced Life Support, as outlined by the RECOVER Initiative. Requires students to complete the online associate module through https://academy.recoverinitiative.org/learn prior to the beginning of the Rescuer Workshop.
