FAQs

Can I bring my dog?

As much as we love dogs unfortunately we cannot have any on our open courses. We have lots of mannequin dogs who are more than happy to be bandaged over and over again and practiced on. For the virtual Zoom course your dog can join you from your sofa!

Do I get a certificate?

Yes you get a CPD certified certificate of attendance/completion for First Aid for Dogs. This is valid for 3 years. On face to face courses this is handed to you on the day. On virtual and distance learning courses this is downloaded from the online platform.

Do you give any handouts?

For our face to face courses you will receive a First Aid for Dogs course manual covering everything we cover on the course and more. For Zoom virtual courses this will be posted to your home or work address (UK only). There is an option to purchase this on our fully online course for £10 incl. P and P

Does this only cover dogs?

No this course covers cats and other small pets.

If I book the distance learning course can I work at my own pace?

Absolutely. You can start as soon as you wish and have up to 3 months to complete the course. Our online First Aid for Dogs course is currently priced just £19 in our Summer Sale (usually £29)! Ends 5th September.
