Tactical K9 Medicine
Why K9TC3 or TC4 when your veterinarian already provides you with canine first aid training? Basic canine first aid is a must-have skill for dog handlers, and veterinarians have been generous in providing excellent instruction in teaching the basics every dog handler needs to know.
However, the US (and now allied military and civilian EMS) recognizes that service members in combat need more than just basic first aid training to save the lives of their teammates or themselves. They are prepared to manage gunshot wounds, blast injuries, blunt trauma, and other serious wounds on the battlefield, far from medical care facilities.
Your dog is just as susceptible to these combat hazards, and you may need more than basic canine first aid skills to save your partner's life, and in "tactical medicine," "medicine" is only half of equation.
It's one thing to apply direct pressure to a bleeding wound. It's another to do this under hostile fire, in the dark, in a moving tactical vehicle or helicopter en-route to veterinary care. Rarely, if ever, does canine first aid training include, or even consider, the element of the tactical environment.

"The K9 TCCC provided an excellent introduction to the latest
principles and key techniques of canine trauma care for the handlers and
medical personnel who attended. The course was well resourced and
utilised field-leading instructors."

K9 Armour FundK9 Armour Fund provided a 'free' half day of valuable K9-TC3 training to a local ADF unit.
Over 15 handlers (and staff) were competantly and correctly introduced to the K9-TCCC package delivered via The Veterinary Tactical Group (USA). The Tier 1 experience of the Vet Techs and Veterinary staff is unrivaled in Australia, for 'non clinical' veterinary expertise, put into a tactical context, with operationally experienced SOCOM members and battlefield data to back up the lessons learnt. Why Not Use a Normal Civilian Vet? Not all veterinary personnel are the same. Sometimes your mission requires veterinary support, but not all veterinary personnel are suitable for the situation. K9 Vet provides veterinary support and consultation for those unique situations when only the best is good enough for your organisation. The TC3 & TC4 course & training will be delivered by a qualified K9 Vet surgeon with operational experience in K9 Trauma care. This training is sanctioned by the US defence force and used in Australian Military units and various police agencies in different formats. Please Do not attempt to replicate this training through normal civilian Vets using condensed training or any other methods. Your dogs life may depend on it. 'Your dog, your responsibility.'
