ONE PET OWNER AT A TIME"

Pet Tech's Mission Statement


Dear Pet Lover;

You are receiving this link because you know one of the over 150 Pet Tech Instructors who currently teaches our Family of Pet First Aid, CPR & Care Programs (or someone that knows them).

My name is Thom Somes, "The Pet Safety Guy". Maybe you've seen me speak at a Pet Care Professional Convention, read my articles in national Pet Magazines, heard or seen me on TV or Radio. I am the creator and founder of Pet Tech, the first national training center dedicated to First Aid, CPR & Care for dogs and cats.

And I Have a BIG New Years Resolution!!

My first New Years Resolution is to add over 400 Instructors in 2007! I spoke with several of my Instructors about how to make this happen. As Pet Care Professionals, they suggested creating a special discount on any Pet Tech Instructors (PTI) THEY referred.

We've realized that many of our best Instructors come as referrals from our own Instructors; such as a business associate or a student from their class.

So after giving it some thought (and some coaxing from MANY of our Instructors), I decided that Pet Tech would offer a whopping $400 discount to as many Instructors who sign up and pay in full by February 15th, 2007.

As good a deal as I thought this was, this wasn't enough. They really liked the savings on the price of the program but they wanted to get something more for their soon to be fellow Instructors. They thought, hey you deserve to see what you are helping me to create, so I agreed to include a signed copy of the DVD we are producing (which should be out mid 2007). This is a $39.95 value, not including my signature! :)

That was great and they wanted YOU to get something that would help you to be MORE successful, once you became a Pet Tech Instructor, to help you to get off to a fast start teaching! So, with a little MORE arm twisting, I agreed to include with the 10 PetSaver™ Student Packets, paying your first year's Pet Tech dues AND to give you a coupon for 20% Off your first purchase of PetSaver™ Student Packets!

I'm thinking WOW that 's an INCREDIBLE deal! But, my Instructors (you better buy them a drink when you see them) STILL weren't quite satisfied. They felt for you to really get off to a fast start, you needed to have help marketing yourself as a Pet First Aid Instructor. And this is your last extra bonus. I also agreed to list you on our Pet Tech web site, for Cindy, VP of Sales & Marketing, to provide unlimited marketing consulting AND I will provide TEACHING support via phone and e-mail.

I couldn't believe it when I added this all up; the 3-day training, the 10 PetSaver Student Packets, the Pet First Aid DVD, the listing on the Pet Tech web site, your first year of Pet Tech Instructor dues, the 20% Coupon, and on-going Marketing & Teaching Support. I was amazed when it all added up to an incredible $2400 value! AND you are getting all THAT for less than $900!

BUT WAIT!! They felt I needed to give THEM something extra now too! Well, we usually give a $50 Credit towards our PetSaver Student Packets…wait for it…I decided to double it to a $100 credit for each person that our Instructors refer. That is almost 15 PetSavers! That is a full class!!!

Why am I telling you this? Because, once you are enrolled as an Instructor, you can do the same thing! You can start earning credits towards the PetSaver Student Packs you will need for the Pet Lovers you will be teaching. The credit is good ONLY towards the PetSaver Student Packets BUT there is no limit to the number of Instructor Candidates you can refer. Referring 10 Instructors that sign-up could cover a WHOLE year's worth of supplies.

BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE…

Extra Cash Bonus!

The 1st Place Instructor who refers the most students
will get $100 CASH!

The 2nd Place Winner will get $50 Cash!

The 3rd Place Winner AND Everyone who refers 3 or more Instructors will receive a Pet Tech Instructor Sweatshirt!

So Start Referring the Pet Loving People
You Think Would Make a Great Pet First Aid & CPR Instructor Today!

FINE PRINT AKA The Rules: Contest ends February 15, 2007. Only referred Instructors who are paid in full by February 15th will count. Pet Tech's tally is final. Each $100 Referral Credit is only redeemable towards the PetSaver Program Packets.

"I am a retired law enforcement K-9 handler.  I had to obtain my R.V.T. license as part of the requirements for the job and I also took several months of various other forms of training, along with another international organization's pet first aid course, as part of my education.  I took the Pet Tech PetSaver™ program in 2000 at a pet sitters convention (my current occupation).  I learned more about the techniques of pet first aid in that eight hour class than I did in the entire K-9 program and finally obtained the confidence in myself to know that if something tragic occurred to one of my pets or a client's I was finally prepared to handle it.  I always kept my certificate current and finally took the instructor's course, so I could provide this knowledge to my associates in the pet sitting industry, my clients, and all my pet loving friends.  Pet Tech has a motto "Improving the quality of pet's lives one pet owner at a time" and I am now one of those pet owners and hoping to show others how to be one also. "

Why Am I Offering This Incredible Deal?

As you know my first New Years Resolution is to add 400 Instructor in 2007. Well I have a second New Years Resolution, which is to produce a Pet First Aid & CPR DVD AND sell over 25,000 copies! My goal is to produce and be prepared to distribute this DVD in time for National Pet First Aid Awareness Month which is April 1st - 30th, 2007.

With over 400 Pet Tech Instructors AND our Pet First Aid & CPR DVD we will be able to reach tens-of-thousands of pet owners helping them to improve the quality of THEIR pets' lives! This DVD will also drive thousands of students to YOU our Pet Tech Family of Instructors!

This offer ends February 15th because we are putting the keys in the ignition of a 31 foot RV and going on the road, to bring the classes to you! (Check our Schedule!) I also want to have the majority of students enrolled before we go on the road because I know it will take more time, effort and money to enroll Instructors while we are traveling. I want to spend my time at the trainings with YOU, our Family of Instructors. This time & effort savings I am passing on to YOU, if you ACT NOW!

The Pet Tech Instructor Program is limited to 20 students in order to maintain the quality and personalized training we are known for. I know for a fact that some of our scheduled trainings will not be open to anyone but those who take advantage of this special offer! So CLICK NOW or call (760) 930-0309 to enroll before this incredible offer disappears. Note: you can only take advantage of this offer by sending an e-mail or talking with us on the phone, as I need to know which Instructor referred you.

We teach how to integrate the Snout-To-Tail Assessment into the initial client visit and for every future visit. This only takes a couple of minutes. This creates an on-going overall health assessment for the owner. A Pet Sitter who had taken our class at Quest told me she didn't’t even make it that far because on an initial client visit when she did the Snout-To-Tail Assessment, she found that the cat was very dehydrated. Initially, the owners were reluctant to believe her because this was the first time they had met her and the cat had been drinking so much water lately. However, because she was so professional in the way she handled the cat; taking the pet’s vitals (heart rate, breathing rate, temperature), they were more open to listening to her. They scheduled an appointment the next day with their vet and found that the cat was in the early stages of diabetes. Needless to say, the owners hired her and consider her a vital resource and an integral part in the health and care of their pet.

Editor's Note: She was the 3rd Pet Sitter interviewed. The previous two did not do the "Snout-To-Tail Assessment" nor did
they catch the cat
was dehydrated.


YES, I WANT TO HELP YOU, HELP OUR PETS AND
SAVE $400 BY BECOMING A PET TECH INSTRUCTOR IN 2007!

I initially met Thom Somes, "The Pet Safety Guy" when I
hired him to be a speaker at the 2006 IACP Annual Conference.  He was a dynamic speaker and I was impressed enough with his presentation to host a PetSaver Instructor course at my facility.  I'm glad I did.  Becoming a Pet Tech Instructor has been a valuable addition to my business.  Thom and the crew at Pet Tech did a wonderful job not only of educating me as a PetSaver™ Instructor
but also in helping me further develop and market my program.

According to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA)
1-out-of-4 More Pets Would Survive,
If Just ONE Pet First Aid Technique Was Applied
Prior To Getting Emergency Veterinary Care.

Our trainings have helped save the lives of thousands of pets that have been in emergency situations with their guardian or Pet Care Professional. It is so incredibly rewarding and heart-warming to receive a card or letter from a pet-parent that saved their pet's life using the skills and techniques they learned in your class. Unknown is the countless preventable accidents that can be prevented by the the owner or Pet Care Professional being trained and now more aware by preventing the incident from ever happening in the first place. Teaching Pet First Aid & Care is one of the best ways to give something back to our furry, four-legged family members. It is also an incredible business opportunity. Come join the Pet Tech Family of Instructors and make a difference in 2007!

"Becoming a certified Pet Tech Instructor lends credibility to any
Pet Care Professional.  People are more at ease about leaving their four-legged
children when they entrust them to someone who is trained in how to appropriately
respond in the event of a medical emergency.  The Petsaver Program, presented by Pet Tech Inc., has given me peace of mind knowing that in any given situation I
would be prepared should the need arise.  I sent emails to about 100 of my clients
after my training, describing the course and asking who might be interested.  
I now have 65 people waiting to take the course from me!  I can't wait to get started!"

"Use Your Head, Be Careful With Your Hands,
Because You Have A Heart"
Thom Somes , "The Pet Safety Guy"

A pet owner who took our class loved her little dog because she did her homework assignment of the Snout-to-Tail Assessment. Where you go from “Snout-to-Tail” with deliberate intent and purpose creating a baseline of your pet’s health. Also, so that you know more of what is “normal” for your pet, so you can more quickly recognize what is not normal for your pet. She found mammary tumors growing on her dog. She took her to the vet, who confirmed the diagnosis. Luckily she caught it early enough that treatment was successful. However, the vet did tell her that if she had let that go just another five or six months, the outcome may not have been as good. This simple skill that can take only a few minutes added thousands of minutes to this pet’s life.
When I tell this story in the classroom, some people wonder how she didn't’t notice the mammary tumors in the first place. The thing is that she never really put her hands on her dog, from Snout-to-Tail, with deliberate intent and purpose, like we teach in the class. She said she would come home from work, make her dog dinner, have dinner herself, her dog would sit on her lap and she would pet it.

"Oh, the drudge of learning!  Yea, I know stop the bleeding is the first thing you should do if someone/something is bleeding, but wait where are the pressure points on a dog?  Thom provided us with that and so much more.  I couldn't wait for the next day to begin.  Several of my clients called after taking the PetSavers course to tell me how much information they got and how much of an impact the course had on them.  Thom made the whole process fun and exciting, interactive role-playing was great.  Nothing like teaching your peers to sharpen your skills; they can be hard critics.  I will definitely have the whole Pet Tech group back again.  If you deal with animals….TAKE THE COURSE, your pets will thank you."
