Last night we held the first dog first aid course at the GSPCA with a focus on helping save your dogs life.
Taking the course was GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne who has over 20 years working in the field of animal rescue and with over 3000 animals through the doors every year at the GSPCA the team see cases of animal first aid on a daily basis here in Guernsey.
9 lovely ladies attended the evening and not only learnt how to save a dogs life.
1 lady was returning for a refresher while 8 others attended to learn dog first aid for the first time.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We have been running dog and cat first aid courses for over four years and have trained over 200 participants to help save animals lives.”
“We had a lovely evening last night learning how to save dogs lives andthe 9 lovely ladies got to meet Casper the CPR dog to help with the training."
"Casper is a model first aid dog so a great way to show and learn how to carry out CPR on an unconsious dog."
"The next Dog First Aid Course will be on Monday 12th November at 6.30pm and the next cat course witll be next year."
"As owners of pets our worst fear is not knowing what to do if our four legged friend has an injury and this training helps pet owners learn and understand ways to help save your pets life."
The dates for the next first aid course is:
