Last Thursday the GSPCA held a First Aid Course for dog owners.
9 local dog owners came along to learn how to save and help their canine friends if they have an accident, injury or health concern.
The GSPCA would like to thank Natalie, Vernon, David, Caroline, Anna, Stephen, Sue, Paul and Jackie for attending the Dog First Aid Course.
Each year the GSPCA help around 200 stray dogs, rehome around 50 dogs a year and help countless more from cruelty cases to owners needing assistance or advice.
On Wednesday the GSPCA held a First Aid Course for cat owners.
3 local cat owners came along to learn how to save and help their feline friends if they have an accident, injury or health concern.
The GSPCA would like to thank Helen, Lava and Lexi for attending the Cat First Aid Course.
With well over 200 cats and often nearly 300 hit by cars a year in Guernsey knowing what to do to help a cat in an emergency can make a huge difference in their chances of survival.
Every year we hear of pet owners being faced with circumstances of their pets being injured or caused harm often through no fault but an accident.
To help pet owners each year we hold a series of training courses and we have set dates for first aid courses for those interested in helping dogs and cats.
The dates set for 2017 are:
Cat First Aid 6.30pm - 8.45pm Wednesday 10th May 2017 - Ref - Cat 10/05

The GSPCA couldn’t carry out saving, rescuing and caring for the thousands of animals that come through the doors every year without the support of the staff and volunteers that work tirelessly every day and night.
To recognise the team at the GSPCA we have been asking for nominations to recognise the staff and volunteers for their dedication, hard work and outstanding effort.
Nominations were accepted both in house, online and via the post and we received an overwhelming number of wonderful comments for five staff in particular and fifteen volunteers each quarter.
On what was a very sunny Sunday morning the GSPCA held another sold out Dog First Aid Course at the Animal Shelter.
The GSPCA have been running a series of training courses at the GSPCA site in St Andrews.
With 18 in attendance and taken by GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne the training session which takes just over 2 hours covered topics from dog CPR to seizures.
Many of those attending had a wealth of knowledge on dogs as nearly a dozen trainers from the Island Dog Training Club came along to learn and also share their experiences.
Yesterday the GSPCA welcome 11 ladies and one gentleman along to the first ever course of its kind to be held in Guernsey.
