Naloxone Emergency Administration for Detection Dogs

This course is designed for all dog industry workers who may need to recognize and respond to an opioid emergency involving a detection dog. Participants will learn essential skills in opioid overdose response, including Naloxone emergency administration, and no previous first-aid experience or veterinary knowledge is required.

Be ready to help your dog before you can reach a vet.

Do you operate a detection dog? Are you concerned about how to respond if your dog experiences an opioid overdose? Do you want to feel calmer and more prepared for such emergencies?


After completing this course, you will be equipped to handle various situations involving your detection dog: 


- Recognizing a health and/or emergency situation 

- Preparing effectively for emergencies 

- Administering Naloxone in an emergency to your dog 

- Seeking veterinary attention promptly and effectively.


PLEASE NOTE: THIS COURSE IS NOT DESIGNED TO REPLACE PROFESSIONAL VETERINARY CARE. Instead, it focuses on helping you safely and stably transport your canine from the point of injury to a veterinary clinic.


The course offers a realistic yet supportive learning environment. Some topics will cover real-world canine emergencies that may be challenging to discuss. However, the material is presented with respect and care. Our goal is not to frighten you but to replace uncertainty with a practical plan for opioid overdose response.
