What you’ll learn

Certificate and Canine Mobility Nursing

Become a Certified Canine Mobility Nurse and gain the post-nominals CCMN.


As a Veterinary Nurse you are ideally positioned to provide additional therapy and care for your patients with mobility issues. As a Certified Canine Mobility Nurse you will offer mobility sessions in your practice to support owners of geriatric dogs or those with osteoarthritis and reduced mobility. 


There is so much that can be done to help patients live a happier life with less pain. Providing some basic physiotherapy and rehabilitation, as well as supporting the owner with advice around home and lifestyle changes, can significantly improve the quality of life of canine patients with mobility issues. 


This comprehensive course will walk you through how to set up your mobility service which will include massage therapy and exercise prescription. You will also learn how to provide essential education for owners so that they can better understand the daily challenges their dog faces and make small changes that will have a huge impact. 


On completion of this course you will be awarded Certified Canine Mobility Nurse Status with the post nominals CCMN. You will be listed as a Certified Practitioner and are permitted to use the ‘Certified Canine Mobility’ logo. You will also be eligible for membership of the International Association of Animal Therapists (IAAT).
