K9 ECC TRAINING
K9 ECC (Emergency Casualty Care) Training
SMART Tac K9 has developed a specialised course for K9 handlers from all working dog disciplines who are faced with the possibility of a catastrophic injury or condition with their K9 whilst carrying out their every day duties. There are many similarities between human and K9 Emergency care however, there are also many differences.
This is not a “first aid” course. It is a course that revolves around the necessity to keep your injured or sick K9 alive long enough to be able to get to definitive medical care (Veterinary surgery).
Subjects covered include catastrophic blood loss, heat exhaustion, dehydration, shock, pneumothorax.
The K9ECC IFAK comes with an aide-memoire to ensure the functional skills and knowledge are backed up and useable long into the further.
