First Aid for Dog Owners
What would you do if...
... your dog ate all the chocolates left on the table?
... your dog fell down the stairs and started limping?
... your dog is limping after a walk?
... your dog has a seizure?
... your dog had something stuck in his or her throat?
Your first response might be a feeling of panic trying to figure out what is "the right thing to do". We are here to train you for any emergency with your beloved pet. Our dog first aid course provides detail knowledge of emergency procedures and hands on experience (on pet manikins) so that you can be prepared for any emergency with your pet.
What will you learn during the Dog First Aid Course?
- What to do for: burns, choking, frost bites, heat stroke,
bleeding, poisoning, broken bones, car sickness, etc...
- Muzzling and approaching safely an injured animal
- How to find your dogs pulse and check respiration
- Bandaging and splinting techniques
- Moving an injured dog
- Create a pet First Aid Kit
- Rescue breathing and CPR
- And much more...
Always remember that any first aid administered to your pet should be followed immediately by veterinary care. First aid care is not a substitute for veterinary care, but it may save your dog's life until it receives the appropriate veterinary treatment.
