If you are interested in working with pets, or perhaps are looking to continue your education, then this system is for you.

The first stage in the Certified Pet Care Professional System, is through our three certification courses, Pet First Aid, Pet Care 101 and Dog Specialty & Practical.  These can be taken in person, or some, virtually, through our soon to be released DogGuru Certified Pet Care Professional™ Home Study Program.

Pet First Aid offers a solid, experience-based course for both dog and cat owners and Pet Care Professionals.  This Veterinarian-approved Certificate Course was developed with the goal of bringing a more ‘reality-based’ approach to Pet First Aid.  Through my experience with thousands and thousands of pets, over the past two decades, I saw the need for a course that addressed the real side of what people face every day with their pets.  This Pet First Aid course, is now a leader in the world of educating Professionals about how to care for their clients pets, and in giving pet parents ‘peace-of-mind’ that they know what to do.

Toronto Based Pet First Aid courses are usually held at Element Vaughan Southwest Hotel in Vaughan, Ontario and run from 10am to 6pm. Pet First Aid courses are generally held three or four times per year.  Shuttle from the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre subway station is included with registration.
