Please read this disclaimer carefully before accessing course content.
General
The information presented in this course is for general educational purposes only. It is not intended as, and does not constitute, professional veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The content is designed to build awareness and confidence in pet first aid — it is not a substitute for qualified veterinary care.
Not a Substitute for Professional Veterinary Advice
Nothing in this course replaces the professional judgement of a registered veterinary practitioner. In any animal health emergency, you should always seek immediate professional veterinary assistance. If your pet requires urgent care, contact your local veterinary clinic or emergency animal hospital without delay.
Limitations of First Aid
First aid measures described in this course are intended as interim support only, to stabilise an animal until professional veterinary care can be accessed. They do not constitute treatment and do not replace a veterinary diagnosis or management plan.
Currency of Information
Veterinary knowledge and best-practice first aid guidelines evolve over time. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure content is accurate and current at the time of publication, FURST Paws and Dr Haylee Catley make no warranty regarding the ongoing accuracy, completeness, or currency of this information. Users are encouraged to verify techniques with a qualified veterinary professional.
Individual Animal Variation
The course content addresses general principles and common scenarios. It does not account for the specific circumstances of individual animals, including breed, age, weight, pre-existing conditions, or current medications. Always consult a veterinarian regarding the needs of your specific pet.

Where liability cannot be excluded, liability is limited to the extent permitted by law, to the resupply of the course content or the cost of its resupply. Nothing in this disclaimer limits any rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law.
