Canine First Responder™
Welcome to the Canine First Responder™ Website and “What is a Canine First Responder” or CFR as they have affectionately become known?
First Responders whether for human care or animal care are people that are trained exactly the same way advanced medical staff are in primary care and secondary care protocols to attend the scene of and accident, injury or illness and tend to the patient until they can be evacuated to more advanced medical care. In human First Aid and CPR or Primary and Secondary Care as it is now known the basic procedures and guidelines are laid down by governing bodies both regional and international, those bodies are; the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) and the Basic Life Support Working Committee (BLSWC). This means that whichever training provider or association providing your training will follow exactly the same protocols and guidelines. |
Unfortunately there are no such governing bodies for animal care protocols and more often is the case that the courses being offered differ widely in their duration and content as well as quality here in the UK and Ireland and possibly Globally. We will cover this a little more in depth on the “course page.”
