⚠️ Disclaimer
The information provided in this training is for educational purposes only and is not intended to replace professional veterinary care. Techniques and procedures discussed are designed to help first responders provide basic, supportive emergency measures until a licensed veterinarian can take over.
Some emergency procedures described in this course may be considered advanced medical skills. These skills are typically restricted to licensed veterinary professionals and may not be legally performed by laypersons in certain jurisdictions.
Important Note:
Before applying any of the information or skills from this course, please click here to review your state’s Veterinary Practice Act. Each state has its own regulations, and certain procedures may only be legally performed by licensed veterinary professionals. Always ensure you are acting within your state’s laws and professional limitations.
It is your responsibility to:
Check with your state’s veterinary medical board or relevant regulatory authority for laws and restrictions that apply to non-licensed individuals.
Understand your role as a first responder: your duty is to recognize emergencies, provide immediate stabilization within your skill set, and transport the animal to professional veterinary care.
Avoid invasive procedures (such as intubation, surgical airways, medication administration, etc.) unless specifically permitted under your state’s laws and your professional credentials.
Acknowledge that liability rests with the individual if actions exceed the scope of permitted practice or cause harm to the animal.
By participating in this course, you agree to use the information responsibly, within your scope of training and the law, and to always seek licensed veterinary care as soon as possible.
