Yes, they even have a CPR dummy dog! \u00a9Dog First Aid<\/p><\/div>\n

A course on first aid for dogs hopes to raise funds for charity as part of National Diabetes Awareness Month<\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

A one-off course promising to teach owners and handlers how to give first aid to their dogs will be raising money for charity on 18 November, at the Three Arches pub in Heath.<\/span><\/p>\n

The course is run by Rachel McAlpine of <\/span>Dog First Aid South Wales<\/span><\/a>, and aims to teach participants the best way to help treat their dog. <\/span><\/p>\n

It covers how to spot when a dog is unhealthy and what actions you can take to help a dog that is unwell, from cut paws to major injuries such as burns.<\/span><\/p>\n

This will be taught through a mixture of lectures and practical exercises over the course of half a day. Rachel assures us though that no real-life pups will be practiced on!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe do have a CPR dummy dog that we teach CPR with,\u201d said Rachel. \u201cBut there is an awful lot more to it than just that!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The course is being run in aid of JDRF and Medical Detection Dogs, two charities which work to assist those suffering from diabetes to coincide with National Diabetes Awareness Month. <\/span><\/p>\n

JDRF<\/span><\/a> specifically campaigns for and funds research into type 1 diabetes, as well as providing support to those with the condition. <\/span><\/p>\n

Medical Detection Dogs<\/span><\/a> is a charity whose website says that they \u201ctrains dogs to detect the odour of human disease\u201d to give support to sufferers of conditions including as diabetes, cancer and Parkinson\u2019s disease.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Rachel, the causes these charities champion are close to her heart, having supported her daughter after her diagnosis with type 1 diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis year is actually ten years since she was diagnosed, and we thought actually I\u2019d quite like to do something to mark it. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSo we\u2019re running two courses back to back. I\u2019ll be completely exhausted at the end of it, but hopefully we can get some people along and raise some money!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
