I became a Pet First Aid Instructor after my dog Kipper had an accident. You can find out more about that in the blog section. I feel passionate about educating people not only on what to do in an emergency, but also on how to stay calm and how to prevent accidents too. 

​

What you learn in the workshop could save your dogs life.

We cover:

• What to do for common accidents like falls, choking, drowning, traffic.

• How to recognise when your dog isn't healthy. 

• What to do for medical emergencies like shock, heat stroke, hypothermia, and bloat. 

• We practice first aid techniques including different types of bandaging, CPR, how to make a stretcher, and calming an injured dog.

• We share stories, play games and have fun.

​

Included with the Dog First Aid Workshop is access to online video tutorials for 8 months. Each tutorial is only a few minutes long and can be delivered to your email inbox weekly. This way you can take in all the details of what is needed for up-to-date first aid at a pace that promotes long term learning.

​

After the workshop you will receive an Endorsed Certificate from TQUK that is valid for 3 years. 

​
