FAQ

  • What will I learn in a pet first aid course?

    Our pet first aid courses are built to educate pet owners and pet pros & make them feel confident acting in case of various medical emergencies. Our information covers adult cats and dogs. ​ Each topic is discussed in steps: 1.defining the medical emergency 2.how to recognize it 3.how to prevent it (if possible) 4.how to treat it 5.what to expect at the vet. Check out each courses syllabus on their respective pages. Our courses do not cover every possible medical condition. Students should triage their pets based on information provided, their best judgment and common sense and understand that disease physiology is complex. A veterinarian is the ultimate source of information for pet health.
