Pet First Aid For Pet Professionals Course Edinburgh

This course is aimed at pet professionals, such as dog walkers, pet sitters, pet daycare, or anyone who works with animals professionally. David is one of Scotland's first official pet first aid instructors, who has also been interviewed on live television and radio, plus many national newspapers. David has been teaching this course for more than 10 years and has developed a lot of experience working with a wide range of pet owners, pet trainers, dog groomers, rescue charities, including the army, customs & excise, security dogs, dog walkers, pet boarders, etc. We use the latest pet CPR manikins, plus other training aids, which makes the courses more fun and easier to learn, rather than practicing first aid on real pets, who may find the experience stressful. You will receive a student pet first aid book, and access to a library of pet first aid videos, to help keep your skills up to date, plus an internationally recognized qualification valid for 3 years.
