Last night we held our the first 2019 course in Dog First Aid at the GSPCA.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We had a wonderful evening last night at the GSPCA.”

“There were 4 on the course learning how to save a dogs life and we have further courses planned for this year.”

“Everyone really enjoyed the evening and shared stories of their own experiences whish we talked about and learned from.”

“We have been running dog and cat first aid courses for over five years and have trained over 250 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."

"The next Cat First Aid Course will be this Monday 20th May at 6.30pm and the next dog course will be on the 18th Novembers."

"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."

“A huige thank you to all that came and supported the training and we hope that they never have to use what was learnt but if needed that the skills could well help save a pets life.”

The dates for the next first aid course is:

Cat First Aid 6.30pm - 8.45pm Monday 20th May 2019 - Ref - Cat 20/5

Dog First Aid 6.30pm - 8.45pm Monday 18th November 2019 - Ref - Dog 18/11

All first aid courses are a minimum £20 donation and you must book your place by 5pm before the course.

Within the sessions you get the chance to learn about what to do if you were faced with an emergency situation with your dog or cat.  All participants receive handouts, a few goodies and a certificate.
