Once again the GSPCA have teamed up with the WEA to provide a course in animal care.
The new course is an 'Introduction to Animal Care and Welfare' and gives a taste of working in the many different departments at the GSPCA whilst learning about animal care, behaviour and a hands on experience.
The course is a 2 day workshop and for those taking part we would kindly ask that you have a basic knowledge in animal care.
The main topics covered and experienced will be:
On Sunday the GSPCA welcomed 7 local dog owners and individuals interested in learning how to help save dogs lives.
The training session started at 9.30am where Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager talked to the group about basic first aid for dogs and what to do in the event of an emergency.
The sessions take around 2 hours and cover what to do from seizures to CPR.
Once again the GSPCA held a Cat First Aid Course to help feline owners in Guernsey.
With 300 cats killed on the roads and the Animal Shelter helping over a 1000 cats a year at the GSPCA we are always striving to help pet owners.
Yesterday was the last cat first aid course of 2014 but there is a dog first aid course this Sunday and dates set for further courses next year.
At the GSPCA we take safety of the staff, volunteers, visitors and animals very seriously.
With between 200 and 300 animals at the Shelter at any one time the team need to ensure how to act in any incident or accident.
All staff and volunteers are required to go through a comprehensive induction and read through a training booklet before they can help on site.
