Course Information
Pet First Aid Level 2 (VTQ)
When people think of first aid, they often do not think about their pets. Pets have accidents the same as humans and knowing what to do should the worst happen is a simple thing to learn with basic training. Pet first aid is not aimed to replace veterinary care but it will help you to recognise an emergency, calm your pet and reduce the risks of delayed treatment.
This 3-hour Pet First Aid course is ideal for pet owners, pet sitters, dog walkers, groomers, pet boarding, pet stores and veterinary practices. It covers the main first aid subjects for dogs and cats but this information is also suitable for most other animals. Understanding basic first aid for your pet will give you the skills to assist them and prevent them from getting worse before professional help is given by your vet. For pet businesses and dog day care activities, the Pet First Aid course will help to ensure that you meet and maintain the standards as required for a license to be granted.
Spaces on Pet First Aid courses are limited to a maximum of 12 people. A hands-on approach ensures that attendees practise first aid skills and have the confidence to use them in a real life situation.
On completion of the course, attendees with receive an official certificate which is valid for three years and a certified CPD statement. An annual refresher course is highly recommended. This qualification is also available with an Endorsed Certificate from TQUK, for an extra charge if required.
Attendees completing our Pet First Aid courses receive access to an online video library and course manual for refreshing skills and reference through ProTrainings.
