Guardian First Aid at Paws in the Park


Guardian First Aid Training are delighted to be attending the Vale of Aylesbury Housing’s unique new event, Paws in the Park which is aimed at reducing dog-related anti-social behaviour complaints.

As well as advice on a diverse range of canine topics, people will be able to have their dogs micro-chipped at just £10, or £5 for Trust residents. There is also a fun dog show, which will raise funds for Pets as Therapy.

For anyone seeking medical attention during the event should make their way to the guardian gazebo highlighted by our Guardian flag, where we will be on hand to deal with any medical matters during the day.

Paws in the Park will be a real community event, with support from local businesses and organisations including Thames Valley Police, Aylesbury Vale District Council, RSPCA and the Kennel Club. It will be held at Edinburgh Playing Fields, Aylesbury, 11am-4pm, Sunday 1 July. For more information, see www.vaht.co.uk/paws
