Our Pet First Aid Book is a comprehensive guide that teaches you how to assess situations, provide first aid, and recognise when urgent veterinary care is needed. It’s designed to help you act confidently in those critical first moments — but it is not a substitute for professional treatment.

Most healthy adult pets should visit the vet at least once a year for a wellness check and vaccinations. Puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets with ongoing conditions may need more frequent visits.
Regular check-ups allow early detection of issues before they become serious and help your vet tailor care according to your pet’s age, lifestyle, and needs. Prevention is key to keeping your pet healthy and happy.
