Canine First Aid Course.
Sat 25 February 2017, 09:00 – 13:00 GMT
Pets have accidents the same as humans and knowing what to do should the worst happen is a simple thing to learn with basic training. Pet first aid is not aimed to replace veterinary care but it will help you to recognise an emergency, calm your pet and reduce the risks of delayed treatment.
Learning pet first aid is fun and informative and will give you the skills to deal with a pet emergency should it arise.
This course is ideal for pet owners or pet professionals. It covers the main first aid subjects for Dogs and Cats but this information is also suitable for most other animals. Understanding basic first aid for your pet will give you the skills to assist them and prevent them from getting worse before professional help is given by your vet.
This course takes place at March Podiatry Practice, 47 High Street, March, Cambridgeshire, PE15 9JJ. The course may take place in our large training room on the first floor, accessed by one flight of stairs.
