Would you know what to do if intestines were hanging out of your dog? This and many other topics and tips will be
covered in the veterinarian’s workshop. Be empowered to act in the field to improve survival rates in valuable dogs
and keep your vet bill to a minimum.
Who is it for?
For all hunters, from enthusiastic new lads to hunters with a lifetime of experience. I have taught men that have
been hunting for 20-30 years and they still said they learnt LOTS!
What you will learn:
• Understand anatomy and the importance of first aid.
• Learn how to improve the outcomes of serious injuries.
• Learn what to do in the field, at the truck and some things at home.
• Useful tips for assessing the severity of injuries.
• Help yourself and the vet save time, worry and money.
This workshop provides you with an understanding of anatomy and how to apply first aid in the field. What YOU do
can impact the survival of your dog and your vet bill! Get yourself prepared for injuries, and have the confidence to
act fast. The evening will consist of a powerpoint presentation and a mid-way break will allow for a practical session
with a dog and refreshments.
