Emergencies are not planned and can happen at any moment. Having prior education to assist you in knowing what to do when an emergency does arise not only reduces your stress, increasing your ability to respond accordingly; but can also mean the difference between life & death for your beloved K9 companion.
As a Certified Instructor with Canine Health Canada, we offer all their K9 Programs to ensure you can select a course that is right for you! Our programs include a combination of classroom work & hands on practice. This ensures that you are confident in your skills at the end of the course. You also receive a Manual for future reference & a Certificate of Completion. Certification is valid for 3 years, the same as human first aid certifications. It is important to renew Certifications to keep your skills sharp & learn about any changes to K9 care. As research in the industry evolves, so does the material in the course which ensures you are getting the most up to date & useful K9 Medical Information out there.

The most comprehensive course available! You will learn from the top canine first aid instructors in North America:
We teach prevention - like knowing which household plants are toxic to your dog and what people medicines they can NEVER have. We cover basic nutrition, exercise and dental care needs, we teach you about digestive emergencies and how to deal with them,
You get to practice making your own Elizabethan collar and emergency muzzle (even the most docile dogs can act aggressively when they're injured or scared).
We teach you how to handle the scary stuff, like your dogs heart stops, they have something lodged in their throat and can’t breathe, they've gotten into poison, or have had a terrible accident and needs to be stabilized for safe transport to the Vet.
You will learn and practice a number of different hands-on scenarios - so when an emergency happens muscle memory kicks in and you’ll be able to help your dog in their moment of need.
We do everything with your safety in mind, and you'll take home a 130 page health and first aid quick reference manual.
You earn your paper certificate as well as your wallet CPR card - so you can help any dog in distress!!
