In addition to the unparalleled training with the British Butler Institute, Norland College and the Wine & Spirit Education Trust, as well as being the first in private aviation to have in-house MedAire instructors, VistaJet\u2019s team of over 200 Cabin Hostesses now has tuition in all segments of pet first aid to ensure safety for all in-flight and that loyal companions receive the same leading service as their owners.<\/p>\n
The extensive training program includes:<\/p>\n
\n- Pet CPR procedures from checking circulation, identifying location of the heart and optimum ratio of compressions to breath;<\/li>\n
- Recognizing warning signs of chocking and the best maneuvers for the situation;<\/li>\n
- Vital signs such as heart rate, varying pulse locations, body temperature, and mucous membrane and capillary refill time to check for circulation and levels of oxygen in the bloodstream;<\/li>\n
- Understanding indications of poisoning from ingested or topical, spider or insect bites, and the best treatment for each;<\/li>\n
- And to better understand behaviors, crew members also learn how to read body language, whether that be a friendly dog holding its ears up and a loosely wagging tail; a fearful dog with ears back and tail tucked; recognizing the difference between a rapidly twitching tail and a friendly wag; or the unpredictability of cats, gaining clues from their eyes, ears and whiskers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
