Disclaimer

Pet First Aid UK provides general first aid information for UK dog and cat owners. It is not a substitute for professional veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Always seek veterinary advice

The information on this site is compiled from reputable published sources but is general in nature. It cannot account for your individual pet's circumstances. Always phone your vet when your pet is unwell. If in doubt, treat the situation as an emergency.

No veterinary relationship

Using this site does not create a veterinary-client-patient relationship. The site is compiled by an FA Level 2 coach who keeps pets, not a veterinary professional.

Accuracy

We make every effort to cite reputable sources (Blue Cross, PDSA, RVC, Battersea, Animal PoisonLine) and to keep pages current, but we cannot guarantee that all information is complete or error-free. Veterinary best practice changes. Report any concerns via our contact page.

Affiliate links

Some pages contain Amazon affiliate links, clearly labelled. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Affiliate links never appear inside emergency or treatment instructions, and product recommendations do not constitute veterinary advice.

External links

We link to external sites for reference. We are not responsible for the content of external sites.
