Today, I am joined by Canine First Aid Guru, Rachel Bean! Rachel is a registered veterinary nurse who delivers workshops and the iPET Network’s Ofqual Level 3 course in canine first aid. 

First aid training is one of those things that we don’t necessarily think about or prioritise when we are looking at how to best nourish our dogs, but it’s incredibly important, and it’s incredibly empowering when you know you can help your dog if something happens.

Rachel shares with us some REALLY helpful tips on how to handle common issues she sees in veterinary practice like bleeding, choking, how to perform CPR, how to treat paw pad burns, and really importantly, she dispels some common myths when it comes to treating your dog of suspected heatstroke.

Rachel also shares some basic things to have in your dog’s first aid kit so that you are prepared in the event of an emergency.

Get your notepad and pen out, because you will want to take some notes!

OK, on that note, let’s go!
