If you are a dog owner then chances are you’re already well aware that they have a knack of getting into mischief the minute you turn your back (and maybe even while you’re still watching!). But would you know what to do in an emergency situation? If the answer is ‘no’ then you need to know more about the two accredited Dog First Aid Classes we’re running in sunny Essex this summer…

🐶 What is Dog First Aid?
🐶 How to be legally compliant

This interactive, hands-on, fully guided course is £58 per person which includes your handbook, Certified Dog First Aid Card, and a certificate valid for 3 years upon successful completion.
