** CONTENT WARNING ; Some images on this site may be graphic **

The Essential Canine Care website has been developed by a qualified vet nurse who has a particular interest and experience in veterinary first aid and general health care for active dogs.

If you are currently experiencing a veterinary emergency- use the “First Aid Fast” tab at the top of the page, or use the search bar to type in key word/s. Please contact your vet to assist you with the emergency.

Although Essential Canine Care has been developed with working dogs in mind, it is a resource applicable to any dog, and as long as you have internet connection it is accessible to anyone, anywhere, in any situation.
As an owner, you can have peace of mind knowing that if the worst happens, you will have vet-industry approved information at the touch of a button.

Many qualified veterinary industry professionals have contributed content to Essential Canine Care, ensuring the website is a quality resource for anyone who uses it. We will post regular blogs on an array of topics in addition to having the quick reference first aid information.

Although we hope you never need to use this information, we hope you feel confident knowing you are armed with our resources.

The purposes  of this website are;
~ To provide owners guidance in an emergency
~ Improve the wellbeing of active dogs by sharing general care information
and
~ Be a reliable source of quality information, counteracting the easy access to incorrect “vet advice” that is given so freely online by people who are not in the profession.
