Canine First Aid & CPR certification

Would you know what to do if your dog…Choked on a piece of food? Ate something poisonous? Severely cut his paw? Collapsed and his heart stopped? Was hit by a car? Lost an eyeball in a dog fight?

DOGSAFE® Canine First Aid 101

Certification Course, Continuing Education Credits Approved by: CCPDT (7), IACP, (7) and IAABC

Hours:  Typically 7 hours

A comprehensive full day course designed to teach responsible dog owners and dog professionals the knowledge and skills to respond to a sick or injured dog until veterinary care is available, and to help you determine if veterinary care is required.
