Learn how to save your dog and cat
First aid for dogs and cats – for individuals and companies. Webinars, talks and workshops with hands-on practice on manikins. Led by a practising veterinary technician. Knowledge that may one day save a life – before you reach the clinic.
Why it matters
In an emergency, the first minutes count
– before help arrives
02
Time is life
It takes several – sometimes many – minutes before you reach the clinic. What you do in that time genuinely affects the outcome.
03
Practice, not theory
We practise on dog and cat manikins: CPR, positioning, dressing, transport – physically, step by step, not just on slides.
04
Led by a practitioner
The training is led by a professionally active veterinary technician. Knowledge from clinical practice, not from the internet.

FAQ
The questions we hear most often
Is the training suitable for people without a medical background?
Yes – we teach from scratch, in plain language. You don't need any medical knowledge to help your pet effectively.
How is the webinar different from a hands-on workshop?
The webinar is live theory online (1.5 h) plus questions. A hands-on workshop adds practice on dog and cat manikins: CPR, dressings, transport – all physical, step by step.
Will I get a certificate and materials?
Every participant receives a PDF handbook, checklists and an emergency-numbers card for the fridge. For closed training we also issue personalised certificates (with the organisation's logo for companies).
Is company training tax-deductible and can it be funded through the KFS?
Yes – it's a tax-deductible business expense and we issue a VAT invoice. The National Training Fund (KFS) can cover up to 80% of the cost (up to 100% for micro-businesses). We help prepare the paperwork.
How big is the group for closed, hands-on training?
Ideally 8–10 people, so everyone really gets to practise on a manikin. We split the time into two practice groups: dressings and resuscitation.
Do you travel beyond the Tricity and run training in English?
Yes, across Poland (travel costs apply outside the Tricity (Gdańsk area)). An English-language version is also available for international teams.
