Countrytime Emergency Services & Programs Equine/Canine/Human First Aid

Proud to be a licensed and certified Canine Health Canada instructor. 🇨🇦🐾
One of the reasons I chose to teach with Canine Health Canada is the commitment to keeping our education current.
When the RECOVER Initiative updates its evidence-based veterinary CPR and first aid guidelines, our training doesn't stay frozen in time.
CHC reviews the changes, updates our protocols and educational materials, and makes sure we as instructors are prepared to teach them.
That means when you take a class with me, you're not simply learning from a manual—you're learning through a national organization committed to keeping our training aligned with current veterinary recommendations.
And if you've taken a previous Canine Health Canada class in past 2 years, we've got you too.
Contact Canine Health Canada to receive the applicable updated addendum for your manual.
I'm proud to represent an organization that believes being certified isn't where learning ends. ❤️🐾

🚨 TIP TUESDAY 🚨

🐶 Not Every Emergency Looks Dramatic

Have you ever noticed your dog suddenly refusing to jump into the car, avoiding stairs, or sitting down very carefully?

Many owners assume their dog is "just getting older" or "being stubborn."

Sometimes what you're seeing is called the "elevator butt" — when a dog lifts their rear end first and slowly raises their front end, almost like an elevator.

⚠️ This can be a warning sign of:

• Back or spinal pain
• Hip or joint injuries
• Abdominal discomfort
• A**l gland problems
• Muscle strains or soft tissue injuries

Other signs to watch for:
🐾 Hesitating before stairs
🐾 Reluctance to jump on furniture
🐾 Sitting crookedly
🐾 Difficulty getting comfortable
🐾 Changes in activity level

The important thing to remember:

👉 Dogs are experts at hiding pain.

A dog doesn't have to be crying, limping, or yelping for something to be wrong.

Early recognition can help prevent a minor issue from becoming a major one.

❤️ Trust your instincts. If your dog's movement suddenly changes, it's worth paying attention.
