On Wednesday 11th May the GSPCA will hold their first Dog First Aid Course of 2022.
Taking the course will be GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne who has over 25 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.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We recently held a Cat First Aid Course and next month we will hold our the first Dog First Aid Course of 2022.”
“We have set extra dates for November for another dog and cat course and the next Dog First Aid Course is planned for the 11th May.”
“Those attending will learn to save dogs and other animals lives and although we hope those attending never have to use the skills but at least they will have the knowledge of what to do.”
“We have been running dog and cat first aid courses for over seven years and have trained over 300 participants to help save animals lives.”
"We have ‘Casper’ who is our model first aid dog a bit like the Annie doll many may know for humans and he is a great way to show and learn how to carry out CPR on an unconscious dog although with covid precautions will be used as a model more than for practical."
“From dealing with a dog chocking to heat stroke we cover a huge range of topics and life saving techniques that could really help save a dogs life.”
“We always hope that the skills learned will not be needed but we have been told of circumstances of these skills helping in real life situations.”
"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."
“It is £25 per person and you can book online or call 257261.”
The dates for the first aid courses are:
Dog First Aid 6.30pm - 8.45pm Wednesday 11th May 2022 - Ref - Dog 11/05
