Reviews
I will recommend this course to my animal therapy colleagues, students and volunteers and to dog owners who wish to develop greater first aid knowledge and skills. The fact that the course can be revisited at any time and is supported with videos, written resources makes it especially beneficial.

Clear, concise and informative. Videos and other resources are very useful. Would recommend!
I found this course very professionally put together, easy to follow but full of content and more information than I remember receiving in my last course in 2016. Very impressed and would definitely recommend for others in my line of work.
This is a fab course. Easy to complete from the comfort of your own home. I liked that you can pick up where you last left and the videos and diagrams are simple and easy to follow.
Very good cause, thanks!
Great insight into canine first aid! Very informative and easy to understand the sections, along with video demonstrations allowing a ‘hands on’ learning experience! Thank you very much!
The course was easy to access and covered all of the relevant topics very well. The short video demonstrations were particularly helpful in understanding “hands on” techniques. I liked the way that the course could be approached in chunks. I found that 2 modules (about 2 hours) at a time worked for me and this facilitated good learning and understanding of each topic.
Great comprehensive course to set me onto my way to working in the dog world. After over 20 years of doing BASP first aid course it was fun to change the human into a dog! Very interesting to see how much is the same between the species. Especially appreciated the ‘how to ‘ videos.
Thanks Skye
Interesting and engaging and really useful. Hoping never to have to use it but will be confident in doing so if I have to. Everything explained so that it’s easy to understand and remember. Thank you
A comprehensive online course to refresh my canine first aid knowledge. During lockdown, many organisations offered their 1st aid courses online but P.E.T. offered a competitively priced course which could be taken and resumed at your own pace. The videos and downloadable resources are high quality and I would highly recommend.
Brilliant, thank you. This is a really thorough course. Due to the lockdown, I was unable to to attend a classroom training course. I looked at several online courses before I chose this one but I am so pleased that I did. It was interesting, very well explained, the video clips were very good. I will use this site for further courses.
