Hi everyone! We brushed up on our K9 first aid with Peace Country K9 First Aid. We took home some potentially life-saving skills: whether it's reacting to a choking emergency where seconds matter, or a deep laceration while out camping far from a vet. Very gratefully for courses such as these! 💜 Their next course in GP is on Feb 22nd.
And here’s the thing: having a *K9 Medical Kit* is a great start, but pairing it with the *knowledge* to use it effectively takes pet safety to a whole new level. Whether you’re a dog parent, adventurer, or outdoor enthusiast, being prepared can make all the difference in an emergency.
Stay prepared, stay confident, and keep those tails wagging! 🐶

Happy Saturday everyone! We're excited to announce that Purple Dog is now a distributor of our K9 Medical Kits! 🎉 They have kits on site at their training facility located just west of Grande Prairie.
