In our last blog, we discussed pet first aid training in honor of National Pet First Aid Awareness Month, observed annually in April. When it comes to pet first aid education, few names carry as much credibility and experience as Dallas-based pet expert, Arden Moore. Arden Moore brings Pet First Aid Training to Dallas and beyond, shaping how pet professionals and pet parents learn to respond to pet-related emergencies. Today, I’m telling you about my longtime friend Arden, and why hers are the only pet first aid trainings I recommend in Dallas and beyond.
A Recognized Leader in the Pet Care Industry
Arden Moore is widely known as a “Pet Health and Safety Coach,” but her background goes far beyond that title. She is a former investigative reporter and a nationally recognized pet behavior consultant, speaker, and media expert with decades of experience educating both pet parents and professionals.
Arden has authored 26 books on dogs and cats, including well-known titles like The Dog Behavior Answer Book and The Cat Behavior Answer Book, along with award-winning children’s books such as A Kid’s Guide to Dogs and A Kid’s Guide to Cats.
She also hosts the award-winning “Oh Behave!” podcast on PetLifeRadio, recognized by Oprah as one of the top pet podcasts, and contributes regularly to major pet publications like Dogster and Catster. As a Fear Free Pets speaker, Arden gives talks and workshops for pet professionals and pet parents on practical, safe ways to combat fear, anxiety, and stress in dogs and cats. Arden completed the veterinary, animal trainer, and animal shelter certification tracks of the FearFree certification program, preparing her to teach these important skills to a wide variety of pet industry professionals.
A Dallas-Based Expert with Global Impact
For PCPSI, what makes Arden Moore especially relevant is that she is based right here in Dallas, Texas.
From her Dallas headquarters, she has built an internationally recognized training program that reaches pet professionals and pet parents around the world. Her company, Pet First Aid 4U, offers the following online and in-person certification courses designed to make life-saving skills for cats and dogs accessible:
About Pet First Aid 4U
Arden’s approach to pet first aid stands out for several reasons. Her courses are veterinarian-reviewed and approved, ensuring the information taught reflects current medical standards.
She also emphasizes hands-on, practical learning, often using real pets in demonstrations to make techniques more memorable and applicable in real-life situations. In an interview with Voyage Dallas, Arden says, “With the help of Pet Safety Cat Casey (yes, a teaching feline!) and Pet Safety Dog Kona, we travel all over the country to teach our customized pet first aid/CPR classes as well as conduct cat-dog behavior workshops.” Casey and Kona are photographed, left, in this awesome photo taken from Arden’s website.
Arden’s motto is, “Bringing out the best in pets… and their people.” Her students learn how to respond to emergencies such as choking, bleeding, poisoning, and heat-related illness, skills that can truly mean the difference between life and death during critical first moments. By teaching accident prevention and emergency response, Arden ensures people and their pets have many happy moments together.
Why PCPSI Chooses Arden Moore & Pet First Aid 4U
At PCPSI, we believe that preparation and prevention are two of the most important aspects of professional pet care. Our dog walkers and pet sitters work tirelessly to prevent unsafe situations during visits, but emergencies are unpredictable. When they happen, top-notch training, compassion, and confidence matter. That’s why we rely on Arden Moore’s programs to train our team. Her courses align with our values: practical knowledge, calm decision-making, and a commitment to doing what’s best for the pets in our care.
Her Dallas-based presence also reinforces our connection to the local pet community. We’re not just learning from a national expert, we’re learning from someone who understands the unique environment, climate, and needs of pets right here in North Texas.
