Canine First Aid Essentials

Know whether it's wait, watch, or vet

A calm, practical course for new dog owners — taught by a registered veterinary nurse. Ten short modules that turn the 2am worry into a clear next move.

See what's inside

The worry is normal. The 2am Googling isn't helping.

You love this dog. So every odd noise, skipped meal and little limp sends you straight to your phone.

And Google hands you twelve conflicting answers, none of them from someone who actually knows dogs. You close the laptop no calmer than you opened it.

Here's the thing: being watchful isn't overreacting — it's you doing your job well. What's missing isn't caring less. It's a calm, reliable way to tell "watch at home" from "ring the vet". That's the whole of this course.

Why listen to me

I've spent my whole life around this

I'm Carey. I've been in vet practice since I was 14 and qualified as a registered veterinary nurse in 2001. I've seen, over and over, how much difference a calm owner who knows the basics makes to how things turn out.

This isn't a scare-tactics course, and I'm not a guru with a webinar. I'll even tell you the uncomfortable truths — like the fact that CPR on dogs rarely works, even in a clinical setting. You deserve the honest version, not false comfort. That's the tone of the whole thing.

The course

Canine First Aid Essentials

£197£97  founder price · first 30 buyers

Ten short modules built around one simple five-tier framework — so instead of guessing, you'll always know which tier you're looking at and what it calls for. Around eight hours, entirely self-paced, with a certificate at the end.

Worth weighing up: an out-of-hours emergency visit often starts around £200, before any tests or treatment. Save one panic-driven trip that turns out to be nothing and the course has already paid for itself — and on the day it really matters, you'll act faster, not slower.

  • An honest module on CPR — including when it does and doesn't help
  • Ten bite-sized modules, around eight hours, done whenever suits you
  • A first aid kit shopping list — what to buy, what to skip

The questions everyone asks

Do I need any experience?

None at all. It's built for dog owners, not professionals — every step assumes you're starting from scratch.

Will this just make me more anxious?

No. There's no gore and no worst-case fear-mongering. It's calm and practical — the opposite of a 2am Google spiral. The whole point is to leave you feeling steadier, not more worried.

How long does it take?

Around eight hours, entirely self-paced. Start and stop whenever suits you.

Will it replace my vet?

No — and it's not meant to. It helps you make calmer, faster decisions, including knowing when to get to the vet.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes, on completion.

Why is it £97?

That's the founder price for the first 30 buyers, in exchange for an honest review once you're done. After that it's £197.
