K9 Tactical Casualty Care for Human Providers

If you work around operational K9s or have K9’s you worry about and you are already TECC/TCCC trained, which of your human skills are transferrable to a wounded dog? If you are a K9 handler, you need to take both K9 First Aid and K9 TECC/TCCC classes to be prepared to treat your K9 partner

This course is intended to provide the necessary understanding and skills for a human-trained TECC/TCCC provider to treat a wounded canine/K9 when presented with one until delivery to an emergency trauma veterinarian.

• What are the most common wounding patterns in K9s? How do they differ from humans?
• Which skills and applications are the same?
• Which are different?
• What anatomy is so different you need to adjust your technique?
• Which techniques might cause catastrophic outcomes if applied?
• What other considerations are specific to K9s?

This course is completely consistent with the K9 TECC and TCCC guidelines. It is not intended to teach the full complement of TECC/TCCC Skills. The class is based on the premise that you are already TECC or TCCC trained. Students are encouraged to take the appropriate course from our TC2 series to learn the principles and skills before learning how they would apply to a wounded canine. This course includes paramedic level skills to include differences in K9 surgical airways, decompression of tension pneumothorax, medication administration, and IV/IO access.

THIS COURSE IS AVAILABLE FOR INTRODUCTORY SALE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 30, 2021.

THE COURSE IS NOW ENTIRELY UP AND AVAILABLE AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. 

STUDENTS WHO SIGN UP BY SEPTEMBER 30 WILL ALSO RECEIVE A LIMITED EDITION VERSION OF OUR SAMURAI STICKER, ACCOMPANIED BY HIS WOUNDED K9 PARTNER

Note: The final run time was anticipated to be 2+ hours. The final course, including the summative quiz, is 3 hours.

We have requested CAPCE CEH credits for this class, and that application is pending.
