Animal First Aid – Humanimal and the 132nd Cynotechnical Infantry Regiment
Humanimal, an expert and recognized training organization in the field of Canine and Feline Prevention and First Aid, offers targeted activities throughout the SIA on common issues.
The 132nd Cynotechnical Infantry Regiment trains, assesses, and certifies the core skills of the specialized infantryman/dog team, as well as the integration of dog handlers and military dogs in the Army's canine units.
Accidents are common in everyday life, and some require the implementation of easily accessible techniques, while other issues can be prevented through knowledge, observation, and appropriate prevention.
In operational missions, it's the same for detection or intervention dogs, which can be injured by their engagement environment.
We propose to discuss some of these themes with you: Heatstroke, choking, cardiac arrest, eye injuries, carrying injured animals of different sizes. Explaining basic rules and demonstrating the techniques in front of you.
Let's not leave the fate of our pets or our specialized dogs to chance!
Doga, the art of practicing yoga with your dog!
