Canine First Aid

The course covers CPR, choking, broken bones, bleeding wounds, illness etc. How to do a full body check to find out where First Aid is needed, to know whether there is a pulse or if the dog is breathing and how to help in these emergency situations.. It is stressed throughout that this is for First Aid and not to replace the care of a veterinarian. The student is taught what to do in an emergency before the vet arrives or before the dog is taken to the vet. and it never takes the place of a visit to the vet.
There will be practise on a canine mannequin for CPR and other mannekins for bandaging and splinting etc.
There is a student manual which needs to be studied along with some test papers.
A video will also be shown to demonstrate the many different scenarios that could occur.
