Module 9 Overview
Learn what you need to know to provide first aid to the dogs in your care in all manner of small and severe emergencies.
You’ll learn how to recognize a situation requiring first aid, and the specific protocols for handling everything from cuts and bleeding to weather-related health emergencies to canine CPR!
The Pet First Aid Certification program is delivered through multiple individual bite-size lessons.
Certification requires the completion of an open-book test and the submission of four short videos.
Both technical skills and knowledge are assessed to ensure a specific level of competency.
The original contents of this program were developed in conjunction with a Licensed Veterinarian and a Licensed Veterinary Technician in Florida, USA.
