About Your Course

No matter if you work with canines as part of your career or you share your home with a pet dog, you have an obligation to keep them healthy and safe from harm. Despite our best efforts, accidents can happen, but knowing what to do in an emergency in the moments before reaching a Vet can be the difference between life and death for the dog in question.

Our online Canine First Aid Webinar is perfect for both professionals and pet owners, who want to make sure they have the skills they need should a dog in their care have an accident, illness or injury.

During the webinar, you will learn about the principles and main purpose of First Aid. You will also explore the many types of injuries and illnesses that can occur, and what should be done in various situations.

This includes the action you need to take in the event of:

• Broken limbs
• Choking
• Drowning
• Electrocution
• Heat stroke
• Heavy bleeding
• Hypothermia
• Resuscitation
• Road traffic accidents
• Shock

To help you provide initial critical care to dogs, you will learn how to transport an injured dog, how to bandage, and apply a muzzle. So that you can identify the cause of health concerns, you will also learn about common sources of poison in the house and garden, bites and stings, fits and much more.

This intensive course will also help you to provide care in any situation, as you will learn how to improvise and use everyday items such as stretchers, splints, muzzles and restraints.
