Emergency Bandaging Essentials for Dogs and Cats is a one-hour on-demand course designed to teach pet professionals and pet owners how to apply practical, first aid bandages correctly and safely during common emergency situations. Participants will learn which bandage materials should be kept on hand, including disposable supplies, splinting and support materials, and reliable items that can be purchased online for a home kit, vehicle kit, or workplace first aid station.
The course explains the basic structure of an effective bandage, including the purpose of the three-layer system and how proper padding, protection, and securement work together to control bleeding, protect wounds, support injured limbs, and reduce further trauma during transport. Clear safety guidance is included throughout, with emphasis on preventing common complications such as bandages that are too tight, slipping or twisting bandages, and restricted circulation.
Instruction includes step-by-step demonstrations for a front or hind limb bandage, a simple temporary splint for suspected fractures or severe limb injuries, and a supportive sling technique to help stabilize an injured pet for short-distance movement and safe transport to veterinary care. This course focuses on real-world, emergency-appropriate techniques that can be performed with readily available materials, while reinforcing when bandaging is helpful, when it is not appropriate, and when immediate veterinary evaluation is essential.
