Pet First Aid

As a pet owners and carers we believe it is essential to have an understanding of animal first aid. The Australian Red Cross offers an affordable, online animal first aid course which we believe is something every pet owner should complete! 

The course takes roughly 30-60 minutes to complete and takes you through all the basics of knowing your animal’s vital signs and what to do in an emergency. This course teaches you how to:

  • Check an animal’s vital signs such as breathing, heart rate, circulation and temperature
  • Clear an animal’s airways if an obstruction is present
  • Provide CPR to animal should their breathing and circulation stop
  • Check for signs of dehydration
  • Stop bleeding, clean and bandage wounds
  • What to do if an animal is seizing, and
  • How to provide preventative care for animals
