Reviews
This was a very informative course which balanced providing enough scientific detail whilst making it accessible to those who are not in the scientific field. The course has helped me to consider a holistic approach to a dog’s needs – physical, mental, behavioural and emotional. I would wholeheartedly recommend this course. I enjoyed the additional videos which made the course more stimulating.
Loved the course learnt a lot. Well explained and shown how to do things. Highly recommend
A wealth of truly interesting and useful learning, presented in easily-digested lessons, with lots of opportunity to look further into areas of particular interest by using the web links provided and going from there. An ideal course for anyone wanting to be a better-informed dog owner or carer.
Your dog will thank you for taking this course!
I have found this course extremely informative and it has great detail. It’s perfect if you want to further develop your knowledge on canine health and wellbeing following the completion of the First Aid course.
Very useful, including a mock scenario (practice run) in which you are hypothetically responsible for analysing and providing care and instructions for a dog showing symptoms of illness. A little thrown off by the inclusion of homeopathy in the alternative therapies submodule, but would definitely recommend the course.
I found this course really interesting and would recommend to anyone that has an interest in Canine Health and Well-being.
The course is really easy to follow and understanding with lots of encouragement for further research and development
This is a great and challenging course packed with a lot of useful information. Very well done.
This course has given me so much information and helped me to expand my knowledge in many areas, I am very happy with the support available and I look forward to completing further courses to continue to expand my knowledge and help provide advise and care for dog owners.
THANK YOU!

Thank you, Katie R.
The learning online was perfect for me. This course is very new to me and I have to say it was very insightful and interesting indeed. The video tutorial assisted in consolidating information equally extra pointers that was good to know.
One in particular section: Understanding Disease and Infections was an eye opener and I really enjoyed that.
Great content, Great tutor, Great Course. Thank you
I found the course covers a nice range of topics, with lots of information without being too wordy so it doesn’t get dull. I liked that it was broken up by videos and plenty of self assessments. Useful links to other websites as well, I learnt some new things which would be beneficial for my own dog!
