In February, we will be hosting a canine first aid course in Newbury, with Dog First Aid. This will be the third time we have hosted this course, which is a certified 4 hour course. It is a fantastic course for both dog professionals, and dog owners alike. It could mean the difference between life and death in some extreme emergency cases. It also covers how to look after your dog’s general health, and warning signs you can look out for that may require a vet trip.

The course will be covering the following;

• The role of a first aider and legal compliance

• The foundations

• How to conduct a full body exam

• 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

• Road traffic collisions

The cost of the course is £59.50 per person. We will be meeting at Speen Village Hall at 10am on Saturday 3rd February 2024.

If you would like to book onto this course, please contact us. Please also feel free to send across any questions you might have about the course.
