Pet First Responder - Dublin
/One of the biggest nightmares of a pet lover...You are backing your car on the driveway, you hear you hit something. You come out and discover you hit a dog/cat. What to do?
Or what if you have elderly dogs/cats, do you know what to do if they have a heart attack?
Do you know what to do if your dog/cat suffers from heart stoke or frostbite?
How about choking? They love to chew on random items lying around. What to do?
The Canine First Responder Course™ Curriculum is the only course approved by Emergency First Response - the largest certification agency worldwide for first aid and CPR training. You will be issued with an internationally recognised certificate upon successful completion of the course. This is far exceeds some more basic 'first aid' courses out there and does provide realistic CPR practice on a canine manikin. (Alice has done her research before getting herself trained!) As a bonus on top of the standard Canine First Responder course, Alice the cat behaviourist is going to give you extra tips on how handling cat situation to make an all round Pet First Responder course.
For cat lovers who wonder if this course is suitable to you. The answer is - Yes! There is no recognised Feline First Responder course at the moment. The techniques performed on small dogs and cats are very similar. Alice will of course explain the difference when dealing with cats. Plus, you can come across a dog collapse on a hot summer day and need your help!
