Canine First Aid Course
Dogs are more than companions; they are family members, confidants, and sources of joy and comfort. As responsible caregivers, our duty extends beyond feeding and walking them—it encompasses their health and safety, too. Emergencies, whether at home, on walks, during play, or in the car, can happen without warning. When every moment counts, knowing what to do can make all the difference. That’s why we’re proud to introduce our comprehensive Canine First Aid Course, designed for dog owners, pet professionals, and anyone who wants to be prepared to protect the lives of their four-legged friends.
Why Canine First Aid?

· Bridging the Gap: Immediate, knowledgeable intervention can stabilise a dog’s condition and buy precious time until veterinary care is available.
· Peace of Mind: Knowing you can respond properly in an emergency offers reassurance for pet owners and Professionals.
