Class: Emergency/Critical K-9 Field Care

In this class, you will learn how to effectively help your K-9 partner by knowing the signs to respond quickly to any canine emergency before transporting to the nearest Veterinary ER. We go over a list of crucial topics that may happen while in the field as well as emergencies while off duty. By equipping handlers with the skills to handle any medical emergencies involving their K-9 partners, this program plays a vital role in safeguarding the well-being of these beloved dogs. All canine medical questions are welcome, regardless of subject or severity.
