DO YOU KNOW DOG FIRST AID?

On Tuesday evening our Vet Vicky Payne was invited to give an evening talk on First Aid for Dogs by Little Dale Dogs, a local dog day care and training centre.

With the aid of her canine assistant Quincy the English Springer she gave the group an overview of common dog emergencies and how to deal with them. She also discussed how to avoid common emergencies and gave tips on dog care.

WHAT’S IN YOUR DOG FIRST AID KIT?

What do you mean, “What Dog First Aid Kit?!”. Anyone who goes out walking with a dog should carry some basic bandaging materials, a mobile phone and their vets phone number in their pocket. A human first aid kit is a good start but include some cohesive bandage (e.g. Vetwrap) and something to make an emergency muzzle.

WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT DOG FIRST AID?

Vicky is occasionally asked to give talks on First Aid in the local area and we will publish details on this site. She also runs half day and full day courses across the country. If you have a dog club who would be interested in any of our First Aid presentations please get in touch.
