Would you know what to do if your dog, or a dog you were caring for became injured or ill? Could you deal with an unconscious dog or a life threatening bleed and safely evacuate the dog back to your vehicle?

This practical 6 hour course looks at the unique challenges of doing first aid on a dog. It concentrates on common injuries, illnesses and conditions that you may be presented with through realistic scenario practice.

Canine first aid does not replace qualified veterinary care, however when that professional care may be some considerable time away, your first aid skills may be extremely useful if not lifesaving. This is a particularly valuable qualification for anyone working in the industry as a dog walker or groomer or those who come into contact with dogs professionally such as outdoor Instructors who take clients and their dog into the mountains. This award demonstrates your skills and knowledge in dog first aid which can enhance your reputation and encourage new and potential clients to feel confident trusting their pets to your care.
