The Rescue Critters mannikins provide an excellent resource for enhancing
veterinary education and training. We use them in our work of promoting humane
alternatives and best practice teaching. Students and teachers have been very
impressed with the range of mannikins available and can understand the value of
extended clinical skills practice that is possible with well-designed learning
tools such as these. In combination with other alternative tools and approaches
such as practice on ethically-sourced animal cadavers and supervised therapeutic
work with animal patients, the teaching objectives of conventional animal labs
can indeed be fully met. Furthermore, by using alternatives, students are
reminded that animals are not disposable tools; and they can understand that
such humane methods are fully in accordance with the philosophy and true
practice of veterinary medicine: primum
non nocere.
Nick Jukes - Coordinator - InterNICHE
"The Rescue Critters team has been highly creative and is always concerned
with
correct representation of both the anatomy and the technique to be taught.
The mannikins are accurate and robust and the concern for the client
is obvious. Rescue Critters is highly recommended".

Crane, DVM - Executive
Director- Western
Veterinary Conference
"I
used CeePeR for the first time this past Saturday during a Pet First-Aid &
CPR Class I taught at The Burbank Animal Shelter and he was a huge hit!
Everyone practiced first on my numerous stuffed dogs and cats to get the hang of
the techniques, but then I had them all try it on CeePeR and they were amazed at
how realistic he is. He is already a welcome addition to my instruction
and will continue to give my students a better feel of what it would be like to
give chest compressions and perform rescue breathing on a real dog or cat."
Denise Fleck - SUNNY-DOG INK
"The teacher's job is to facilitate learning. We know
that learning occurs best when it is in context and active and social. The
Integration of knowledge with the learning of hands-on skills (the psychomotor
domain of learning) is critical in training Veterinary technicians. Using training
mannikins facilitates learning by placing the students in a realistic clinical
setting where they can be both mentally and physically active while
collaborating with classmates."
Dr. Karl M. Peter, DVM - Veterinary Technician Instructor, Foothill College, CA
"Thank
you again for your support, it means a lot. I also wanted to thank you for
making such wonderful products, teachers like us would be lost without
them. Your mannikins also inhibit some using of live animals, and for that
the animals thank you. Keep them coming. Thanks.
Ali Gottlieb - Four Paws Consulting, LLC
"I personally have used the Rescue Critters! brand suture arm for teaching students in the art of wound closure and have found it superior to using oranges, latex tubing, or, the worst material yet in my opinion, pig hooves from the butcher shop. As a trainer, I appreciate the fact that a company is developing models that allow us to teach technically demanding skills without having to use actual animals, and still walk away with valuable experience that can be applied to real-life situations."
S.W., Palo Alto, CA
"The I/V leg and Critical Care Jerry have been particularly useful in the training of nurses and RSPCA inspectors in I/V techniques. Everyone thinks they are as real as you could possibly make them..........All the people on the courses without fail have felt they have been excellent."
Simon Newbery, Veterinary Surgeon, England
"Rescue Critters! brand mannikins far surpass any other models I have ever used. Their accurate anatomy and simple construction make them an invaluable tool for teaching RVT."
Liz White, RVT-Pierce College RVT Program Director, Woodland Hills, CA
"This is the best CPR model I have used for teaching
both health professionals and the general public emergency procedures related
to basic cardiac life support."
Dr. Steven L. Marks BVSc., MS, MRCVS, DAVIM - Head, Small Animal ICU, Louisiana State University
"As a veterinary student just beginning to learn clinical skills such as blood sampling, intubation and CPR techniques, I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to practice some these procedures on "Jerry" and his fluffy friends before trying them out on real patients. It has given me a good idea of what anatomical landmarks to look for and how much force I can safely apply, without the risk of hurting a live animal. This has increased my confidence and skill. I recommend them to veterinary students and educators everywhere."
Andrew Knight - 4th year veterinary student, Murdoch University - Western Australia.
"I am happy to endorse the mannikins (Rescue Critters!®) of
ABC RESCUE. I have used the CPR mannikin to teach CPR at several
classes.... I also had a chance to use the venipuncture leg (K-9 IV
Trainer) when it was in it's final stages of development. I found both
mannikins to be realistic and helpful training aids."
Dr. Burkhartsmeyer DVM - Valencia Veterinary Hospital, California
"The addition of the venous access limb to the CPR mannikin has enhanced CPR training."
Harold Davis, RVT, VTS (ECC) Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, University of California Davis
"Critical Care Fluffy" and "Critical Care Jerry" have opened up a whole new world of possibilities for our club. The ability to practice venipuncture, intubation, CPR, and thoracentesis (wow!), has given us the opportunity to experience procedures we normally would have to wait until clinics to see (if at all). Through workshops with our fury little mannikin friends, we now have the ability to run through mock critical care cases on a "real" patient. The nursing staff and clinicians have even requested their presence for venipuncture and ventilator training!
