Antrim, NH — November 7 — Two ambulance personnel have finished the New Hampshire Operational K9 Prerequisite Protocol Course to provide care for police K9 "Dexter" and other working dogs, according to Department Antrim Fire & Ambulance, located at 82 Clinton Rd. Certified staff can treat and transport operational K9s hurt while performing law enforcement or public safety tasks thanks to the state-approved training. Pre-hospital stabilization, injury care, and safe handling in field settings were the main topics of the two-day workshop, which was instructed by NHOpK9 Med with veterinarians and seasoned K9 handlers. Participants gained confidence in working dog emergencies by completing practical scenarios.
