Our courses are taught only by registered veterinary professionals who carry the necessary skillset and experience to teach the subject.
I have The Dog First Aid Co first aid kit in my Animal Welfare van and in my car for personal use of my own dogs. The kit is jam packed with necessities should you need them. I love how you can then add to it when you use bits as you go. I also have the mini first aid kit which I take in my backpack when I go hiking, this has come in handy on more than one occasion with adventurous dogs.

Absolutely fantastic course! Amy’s knowledge on dog first aid is extraordinary and every question that was asked, Amy had an extremely detailed answer for everything. Such a lovely person and so professional. There was alot of information to take in and she made it so fun! 10/10 from me and would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to learn dog first aid!
I attended a first aid course today – it was extremely well run and very informative. Amy included lots of real life scenarios along with tips on how to stay calm and remember what to do in any emergency situation. The first aid kits are great and go with me everywhere. I would highly recommend this course to anyone with a dog.
