Animal Love Pet First Aid

Pet first-aid, health & wellbeing courses taught in the UK & online worldwide.Written/taught by a vet They are CPD accredited and all courses are certificated.
(191)

Having worked as a vet for several years, I have come to realise if we focus on our pets health and well-being they become happier, and less likely to need medical attention. Animal Love has been set up to help pet owners, pet professionals and veterinary professionals to help pets. I offer online and face to face first-aid, health and well-being courses. Courses are in-depth and take you from beg

inner to advanced and are very different to other currently offered on the market. Courses can also be tailored to fit a specific target audience. I also offer tuition to colleges and degree level students. Please ask for more information

Sometimes I do question why I put myself through this! According to one person on the all giving fb,
I obviously think I’m better than everyone as I am a vet! The truth is I often don’t tell people what I do. As soon as I do I know many people see me as money grabbing, uncaring as I can’t treat their pets for free, and driving around in an amazing car living in a mansion!

The truth is it is hard, emotionally and mentally. It can be very unrewarding, my mental health often feels like a battle ground. I don’t earn what you think I do, and sadly I do not have any say over the fees. Of course I want to treat every animal! Mixing money and animal health is just utterly horrible at times.

But I am doing it because I genuinely love and adore all animals. I work past my scheduled day for no extra money because they need my help. I go home and research and look at more ways I can help. I spend ages in the consulting room trying to give my all to help both owner and pet. And I constantly feel that I am not good enough.

Please be kind. A couple of nasty comments today really have made me spiral into a heap of self-doubt. In fact my entire day so far has been ruined. I told my partner I’d rather just give it all up and pick something else where people don’t have so much hatred towards me. But I can’t let the animals down, so I will keep going and I’m sure a rainy dog walk and roast dinner will help me to feel better.

Have a wonderful day everyone. I know you are all very kind to me and I thank you for that xx

First aid kits and first aid supplies to add to existing kits!

I’ll be posting on Monday so if you need anything you can order here - https://www.animallovepetfirstaid.co.uk/shop

No silly fillers like plasters and a million bandages. Useful stuff, the things you’ll actually need ❤️

Sooo where did I begin? Let me share briefly!

I remember the asthma attack running home from school! 2 A*, 7 A’s and 3 B’s for my GCSE’s. The teachers said I would fail, I think my family thought I would flop. The careers advisors told me to change my plan as I wasn’t clever enough to be a vet. This was the beginning.

So I moved immediately onto A levels. What a big mistake! I was heavily involved in the music industry as a song writer and singer. My mindset wasn’t in the right place, that’s ok, some of us take time to focus. Let your child work it out. For some of us that can take a couple of years.

I dropped out of my A levels and moved to London to follow a music career. Not because my love wasn’t animal focused, because I had 2 loves! If I’d of gone a bit country music perhaps my life would have turned out differently, but I wanted to be a rock star! Smash that guitar up, be a bit out there.

But I look back and that wasn’t meant to be! So I went back to my original and first love, to be a vet! Something I wanted since the age of 6. Apparently I wasn’t clever enough. Ok I’m not clever but I put 100% in to those wonderful animals. Glad I didn’t listen to the career advisors, or perhaps I’m a bit of a rebel and wanted to prove them wrong! Nah I wanted to follow my heart as working with animals was always my destiny (sorry that sounds cheesy!)

So next stage college as a kind of adult at aged 20. Working 4 jobs and knowing where my heart lied. Those animals! A slog, no one doing my washing and a big rent to pay. And uni fees to cover, a big potential headache. Hang on I had to pass my A Levels first…

I did it! I mean I don’t know how I did to this day. Hours studying around hours working. But I got my place at Glasgow vet School! I did those 5 years, huge stress and fun all at the same time. I worked to pay my way often working in a bar until 4am and turning up for lectures at 9am. Thank goodness for caffeine! I look back now and realise I had stamina. I still do.

I worked so hard to get to where I have got to. I could share many a story, one for a book perhaps 🤣 but the point is I did get there!

This week many of you are sending your children off to uni, or not. You maybe contemplating what they will do with their lives. Don’t. There is no rush, no stress. Sometimes we need to just figure it out. Education is hard work, you need to be committed and dedicated. It’s ok if you need to wait until you’re ready ❤️ I did! 2009 I qualified. I work everyday to better myself as I know there is so much to learn.

That was not brief! Sorry. I just wanted to say if you have a plan, work towards it. You will get there. I did 😊

20/09/2024

Sorry to go on I just don’t want you to miss out!!

These are my remaining dates for this year. I’ve already added some new dates/locations for next year…

Some of these on the list are now down to a handful of tickets left.

To see all locations/book then head to:

https://www.animallovepetfirstaid.co.uk/book-now

Plus I’m coming to Scotland!!! Watch this space as you’ll have a couple of options plus some individual seminars you can book too ❤️

20/09/2024

New flyers!! I need to spread the word about what I can teach as that means more pets will benefit! So I’ve designed these flyers ❤️

Give me a topic and I shall research it for days and present to you all the information that you can easily digest, with practical tips you can put into place.

Also I end up taking first aid kits to a course, and I don’t promote them or tell people that I have an online shop. My self promotion is as good as my geography skills - rubbish 🤣

Trying my hardest…

19/09/2024

The Healthy Dog Club is live on my page! Specific in-person seminars focusing on one topic in detail.

This is the first session added. A canicross group asked for a session that would help their dogs. The active dog will run in Andover with a 6.30pm start time and a certificate of attendance included. If you would like to book this session then here is the link:

https://www.animallovepetfirstaid.co.uk/service-page/the-active-dog?referral=service_list_widget

This would suit any active dog from canicross, agility, working, and generally busy!

Arthritis is painful. Of course our dogs and cats hide pain very well. Well some are little more vocal about how they feel. But often they show signs of pain that perhaps is more silent and less obvious.

As one of the most common conditions see in our pets, I am considering a webinar dedicated to this condition as part of my healthy dog club. We would explore the topic in-depth. I feel it may need to run over 2 evening sessions as I’m not sure 2 hours is enough time!

Would you be interested in learning more about this topic? How can we prevent, recognise, manage, and treat. How do WE make a difference for them ❤️

NEW FOR 2025!!
The healthy dog club:

I shall be structuring some new exciting webinars BUT do you have a dog club you are part of? Or perhaps a group of you would like to learn about a particular topic?

If within 90 minutes drive I could come along monthly and deliver an evening session. Or if further away a full day of 3 topics. All certificated!

I can also offer these via zoom!

For example sessions can include:

Preventative health care (including neutering)
Managing itchy dog’s
Tackling gut problems
Caring for senior dogs
Chronic joint disease management
Keeping your dogs mouth healthy
Caring for a dog with heart and lung disease
Genetic testing to reduce disease

Etc etc! I can create a session dedicated to a topic your group maybe particularly interested in. Or if you tell me about your group, I can design a schedule of topics that would be a good fit.

My aim to make sure you understand as much as possible to improve your dogs health with lots of practical tips. These are suitable for both pet owners and pet professionals.

Drop me a message if you’d like to look into this for your group next year ❤️

Soon I’ll be spaying my own dog Jelly. She will be around 2yrs 2months. Under 2.5 years lowers the risk of mammary cancer. I have allowed her to develop skeletally, sexually, and mentally. So now is the right time.

IF I left her entire I’d need to monitor for both mammary cancer (50% is malignant/nasty) and of course pyometra - pus in the womb. But neutering can also increase the risk of other cancers so balance and understanding of what to expect is important.

IF you keep you girl entire you NEED to be aware of this. Because it can be a killer if not treated ❤️

I just had that light bulb moment! Sooo I always say, oh no I don’t work In practice full time anymore as I spend so much time teaching. Well I just counted up my so called part time veterinary work. 40 hours per week 🤣 I think I have workaholic issues! I push out 80+ hours per week with teaching on top like it’s normal! Oh dear 😅

No wonder I’m often tired! I guess when you love what you do, you don’t realise how much you are actually doing!

CANINE & FELINE EAR DISEASE WEBINAR!

Itchy ears, chronic ear infections, preventing ear infections, what causes an ear infection! I’ll be covering it all. It’ll likely be 7-10pm as there is a lot to cover! But it will be recorded. And there will be time for plenty of questions.

We will look at nutrition, environment, and lifestyle. How can you recognise, help, and prevent.

Here is the link to book via PayPal or card:

13/09/2024

Today has been a success!! I have managed to have TIME. Time to discuss at length how to improve their wonderful pets wellbeing, time to ask questions and discuss things to put into place, time to make sure the owners are on board, and time to make a difference.

I called clients of mine from a few days ago to make sure their pets chronic skin and/or ear condition had improved. A big fat 3 out of 3 were a yes. I treated/managed 5 (yes a MASSIVE 5) dementia cats and dogs and started arthritis treatment for 3 cats and 1 dog who’ll sleep well tonight as they’ll be comfortable at last. My treatment isn’t just medication, there’s so much more!

I shall sleep tonight knowing that I had the time to do this. The time to put my heart and soul into each and every consult, and I hope I’ve bought more time and of course quality of life to those wonderful pets.

Everyday I dream of my own practice, I have a plan for the ultimate clinic. Perhaps one day…

These webinars are so informative! Not just from a teaching you info point of view but practical! Stuff you can do to improve your dogs health. AND… they each come with their own certificate. Please don’t think it’s cheap it must be basic, it’s not. I keep it cheap so that you have the opportunity to learn more and to help your pet and those you care for.

I used to hate skin as a vet, but now I love helping these itchy cases. My consults are like 10 hours long, and I send the owner home with a silly list of things to do and supplements/topical treatments to buy! But the energy I put into these consults is worth it!!

Bathing an itchy dog is one part of solving the problem! I presented a skin webinar this year aimed at dog groomers, but absolutely essential for itchy dog owners!

The 3 months post season spay rule is a bit dusty and outdated!! Leave it 4 months to make sure any phantom pregnancy signs have settled. Some signs are subtle and some dogs need more than 4 months for hormones to settle. Spay when having a phantom and they will end up with a persistent phantom pregnancy that means it doesn’t go away! I have a course helping you with this topic - understanding the unneutered female it’s inexpensive but very informative! https://www.animallovepetfirstaid.co.uk/educational-webinars

Dog pyometra

Womb infections are a risk when a dog is left entire. This womb is from a beautiful mini poodle aged 2. Just came for a normal spay, left knowing we had saved her life!! I’ve cut into the womb once removed from the dog. Look at the pus 😬 or not if you’re queasy! I love everything neutering!! But I also don’t think everything needs neutering! I have 2 courses on my site related to neutering if you’d like to learn more ❤️ www.animallovepetfirstaid.co.uk come and learn more ❤️

We will cover how obesity affects the dog and look at a multitude of diseases. All to make you the best groomer able to manage a variety of ailments. Part one the balls and the bits which looks at grooming entire and neutered dogs has been aired. You will be sent the recording and slides, and of course receive your certificate once completed. This is a small investment that will make a huge difference to the dogs you groom ❤️

Phantom pregnancy milk test

What does a positive milk test look like in dogs with a phantom pregnancy? It may not always be what you think…

This lady, I’m in love! Had ALL of her diseased teeth removed 2 days ago and is so happy! I cannot remove the mouth tumour, but that’s ok as long as she’s comfortable. And if she had teeth she’d of taken my hand off today when I gave her some treats!!! I cleaned her eyes, and ears. Then have her a brush. She then went out and strutted her stuff with her fresh breath and silky coat. I’ll be in tears when I leave her on Sunday. Zizi is so amazing ❤️❤️ OSPA Cabo Verde Cats and Dogs

Lua who I posted about yesterday, 2 days post treatment! I think this humping is from feeling relaxed now that the meds are helping her mouth pain, not from anxiety! She hadn’t eaten for a few days and now she’s holding a cushion in her mouth ❤️ OSPA Cabo Verde Cats and Dogs

Alan’s dating profile! Make sure to add audio… If you like sausage and wearing prada, Not getting caught in the rain. If you’re not into big dogs, If the cats drive you insane.

I reckon it should be swipe right and we’ll escape 🤣and Alan would like to add he’s not been castrated 🤣

Editing the children’s dog expert course tonight and we have laughed our heads off at this video! I honestly look like I’m reporting for the bbc news 🤣 Animal Love Pet First Aid

****CHOKING**** I’ve shared this because I was recently alerted to a situation where a dog choked on a ball when on the beach. But he survived because his owner knew what to do and saved him. They had to perform CPR, but he made it ❤️ The external evacuation technique is the technique of choice for animals choking on items lodged in the airway such as a ball. You are unable to see the offending item in their mouth, and you can feel it in their airway and/or see it bulging. **Have the animal on their back, this will only work with UNCONSCIOUS animals **Push their nose out in front of them to stretch their neck **Use your thumbs either side of the item and push in and forwards in a J stroke motion **You may have to repeat the process **Then perform CPR Learn all of this and much more on one of my courses. www.animallovepetfirstaid.co.uk Unique courses taught by a vet
