Canine Emergency First Aid

The iPET Network Level 3 Award in Canine Emergency First Aid is perfect for owners and professionals alike, who want to be prepared should a pet need emergency treatment. The qualification covers the most commonly faced canine needs, such as how to treat injuries, dressing wounds, allergic reactions, stings, poisoning, choking, seizures, CPR, hypothermia, and much more.

The qualification is an excellent balance of theoretical and practical learning to ensure candidates have the knowledge required should they ever be faced with an emergency first aid situation. We use both real-life and model dogs for our practical learning and work in a small group to ensure that all of the theory side is understood.

Leading industry experts have reviewed this qualification to ensure the outcome is appropriate for the animal care industry and its continued growth and development.

This qualification is aimed at taking candidates on a journey from complete beginners to competent and confident in carrying out canine emergency first aid; no previous experience or knowledge is required. A theory booklet will need to be completed for the qualification, and practical sessions are included.

Depending on the needs of the individual candidate, the qualification can:

• Prepare individuals to progress to a qualification in the same subject area but at a higher level or requiring more specific knowledge, skills, and understanding.
