Dog First Aid 

Is a  valuable resource for dog owners as well as dog handlers for therapy dogs, police K-9 units and search and rescue units. 

The new manual includes information for dogs and puppies of all sizes, how to keep them healthy, prepare for an emergency, how to recognize and respond to a medical emergency until veterinary care is available. Dog First Aid is bundled with a DVD in the back cover that demonstrates how to perform many of the first aid steps described in the book.

 Topics covered include:

·         Symptoms and care for common ailments and emergencies

·         Instructions for creating a pet first aid kit, giving medications and how to recognize emergencies.

·         Tips on maintaining your pet’s health and well-being

·         First aid guidance on caring for nearly 70 canine health conditions.
