What's better than First Aid?
Prevention!
My dogs get a quick eye rinse after training to remove seeds and dust.

Once again... prevention is better than First Aid...
Choose appropriate size toys and avoid playing catch with balls.

Last weekend we took a road trip to Hampshire to teach Canine First Aid.
Always choose a veterinary professional for your animal first aid training... we've done what we teach for real.

HEAD DUNK CHALLENGE
Teaching your dog to dunk their head in a bucket of water can help cool them after exercise.
Start with cool but (not icy!) water for training.
We'd love to see your efforts in the comments.

Penn Vet Working Dog Center researchers have identified an effective and field-applicable way to rapidly help dogs cool down after exercise.

Frost and hail last week... heatwave due this weekend!
Keep your pets cool and don't let them become a heatstroke statistic.

You may have seen an upsetting story about a dog dying after visiting a TulipFestival. Whilst we don't know the full story it is very unlikely simply walking through a Tulip field will cause health problems. Many spring flowers are toxic if eaten. Chewing leaves and flowers causes hypersalivation nd vomiting. Eating bulbs can be fatal.

Today is National Poinsettia Day! But these festive plants can cause salivation, vomiting, and diarrhoea if eaten by pets.
Many Christmas plants are toxic if eaten. Mistletoe, lilies, and yew can even be fatal.
Keep festive displays safely out of reach and consult Animal Poison Line or your primary care vet if you are concerned.

Is your pet first aid trainer RECOVER certified? Do they teach the latest CPR techniques?
Hint - if you book me the answers are yes and yes!

⏳ CPR Myth Buster!

Myth: You should take the time to be sure there are no heartbeats before starting CPR.
Truth: We recommend stimulating first to see if there’s a response, then checking for breathing, and ONLY checking the airway if there’s no breathing and no response to stimulation.
