Program:

Do you know what to do when your dog swallows a toxic material? When he cuts his foot badly on glass during a walk? When he jumps from the grooming table and suddenly only walks on three legs? CAROLE PEELER, Certified Pet First Aid Instructor through the American Red Cross, will give a presentation on some basic first aid techniques for our dogs. The talk will include how to find and monitor vital signs on our dogs and also it will discuss some sudden illnesses and various injuries – how to recognize the signs and how to offer immediate and temporary care until you can transport your dog to a professional. Carole, a former PVSSC member, is owner of C&C Pals and a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant and Certified Professional Dog Trainer "One of the Area's Best Dog Trainers", as chosen by Washingtonian Magazine, February, 2011, February, 2008 & December, 2000  

FROM THE CAPITAL BELTWAY COMING FROM MARYLAND exit LEFT onto 267/ I- 66 EAST (Exit 45B). Take the “McLean” Exit (2nd right) onto Rt 123. Get into left lane quickly, and turn left at next light onto Lewinsville Road (it’s Great Falls Rd. on right). Get into the left lane, go over the Capital Beltway, and look for Falstaff Road on your left (at entrance to the Hamlet development). Turn left onto Falstaff, and follow it past Romeo Court. We’re on the right at 7806 on a deep pipestem driveway and our house is in back of two other houses, 7804 and 7808. You may have to park on the street and walk in.

FROM THE BELTWAY COMING FROM THE SOUTH, exit at Route 123 East (Dolly Madison Boulevard), McLean (Exit 46B). This is the next exit after the two Route 7 exits. Watch carefully, there is construction at Rt 7! Follow Dolly Madison to Lewinsville Road on the left (it’s Great Falls Rd. on the right). Get into the far left turn lane and stay in that lane, following the directions as above.
