*** K999 CANINE FIRST AID COURSE***
Sunday 17th March 2019. Canine First Aid Course, Bowburn, Co. Durham

The event was a great success with Vet Dr Jacqui Molyneux and teacher/clincal behaviourist Mechelle Jacques presenting an informative, extremely professional yet user friendly, event (complete with live canine patients). We do hope to repeat this extremely popular course some time in the future.
