Basic First Aid For Dogs
Course Summary
How does online Pet First Aid training work?
Pet first aid is a video-based, online training course that instructs you how to care for your pet in case the animal is injured.
This course is devised to give you the confidence to act quickly in an emergency while offering the convenience of learning from any computer with an internet connection.
This course is not meant to replace your vet in an emergency situation. However, it will teach you the skills you need to care for your pet before the vet is able to see the animal.
