Who is this course for?
This course is designed specifically for veterinary nurses and professionals with formal qualifications in animal health, particularly canine care. It does not cover foundational topics in animal handling, anatomy, canine health or development, as these are assumed knowledge for vet nurses. If you do not have this background, we strongly recommend The Pet Stylist Theory Bundle.
