Online Dog First Aid Course, this course is presented by Dog First Aid Sussex
On Tuesday 29th September and Wednesday 30th September, we’ll be holding an Online Dog First Aid Course. This course is split into 2 evening sessions both starting at 19.00 and finishing at 21.00. This is one course but in 2 easy bite size sessions.
None of us wants to imagine our dog becoming injured or unwell, but knowing what to do in an emergency can make an enormous difference. This online course will help guardians feel better prepared and more confident should something happen.
Because when there’s an emergency, “I watched something about this on Facebook once” probably isn’t the level of preparation we’re aiming for.
Our course on Emergency Canine Care will cover the following:
- The role of a first aider and legal compliance
- The foundations
- What to look for in an emergency
- How to take your dog’s vitals – pulse, breathing rate and temperature
- CPR
- Seizures
- Bleeding
- Canine shock
- Gastric dilatation volvulus
- Burns & scalds
- Toxic ingestion
- Heat stroke
- Choking
