This Dog First Aid course developed by an expert dog trainer allows professionals to anyone to deal with emergencies in the canine industry. Dogs are inquisitive creatures and have no concept of danger. They are constantly chewing on things they shouldn’t eat, getting into unsafe situations or accessing unsafe places to explore. Sometimes their curiosity leads to an emergency.

Understanding Dog First Aid from the basic level means more care and support for an injured or sick dog. Many emergencies may arise at home or on a walk involving our pets. In those moments, it is important to be fully prepared to act quickly and effectively – you could save their life.

Every day, pets at home eat toxic food or chemicals, injure themselves on something sharp, choke on something or run across a road to be hit by a car. They must receive prompt and appropriate first aid in any of those eventualities. Surprisingly few owners and pet carers are up to speed with pet first aid.

Unfortunately, it is unlikely that the vet is available to help quickly enough in these urgent situations. Therefore, having the proper knowledge and skills to react in these situations is vital. Prompt and appropriate first aid can prevent a minor injury from becoming a major one. It can reduce pain, improve outcomes and give you peace of mind that you can do the best for your pet.

For many people, their dog truly is their best friend, so should their canine companion need medical help, having the security of having completed a dog first aid course can prove to be invaluable.

Many ‘pet parents’ can benefit immensely from this course, but they aren’t just for dog owners. First aid courses are an invaluable differentiator for those working in the industry as dog walkers or groomers, as they can be a great way to demonstrate your knowledge and skills in dog first aid to enhance your authority and encourage new and potential clients to feel confident trusting their pets to your care.
