At the SKYLA Project, our mission is to ensure every fire service in the UK is equipped to provide life-saving care to animals in emergencies. Through fundraising and donations, we supply Skyla Small Animal Rescue Kits for every fire engine – giving firefighters the tools they need to deliver vital pre-veterinary care at the scene.
Each kit includes three pet oxygen therapy masks, 2 basket muzzles, a slip lead and a bespoke bag designed for frontline use.
Alongside these, we can also provide specialist training and equipment to support rescues, including Online training / e-learning in small animal rescue, Ruth Lee Mannequins for unconscious animal rescue practice and Casper Mannequins for CPR training
Fire services can receive these essential resources by committing to fundraising efforts, helping us continue to expand this life-saving initiative nationwide. Together, we can make sure no animal is left behind in an emergency.
Oxygen therapy masks for pets (cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc.), recommended for unconscious animals or those with smoke inhalation, respiratory distress, or trauma.
Supplied in 3 sizes. Small, Medium & Large.
Basket muzzles are a safe and humane option that prevent bites from a dog that may be in distress while still allowing them to pant and drink. More comfortable than soft muzzles, they can be fitted to a dog’s unique shape for widespread use and are supplied in 2 sizes.
A slip lead is a practical all-in-one tool that combines both a collar and lead in one single design. It features a loop that slips easily over an animals head and an adjustable slide to control the tightness, giving the user quick and effective control.
Train your watch in dog CPR with CasPeR, the vet-approved mannequin designed for realistic mouth-to-snout resuscitation, chest compressions, and pulse checks. Quick-change airways and disposable lung/shield bags ensure hygiene. Durable, foam-filled, and anatomically accurate, CasPeR prepares firefighters for safe, effective pet rescues.
Realistic mannequin built for firefighter training. Designed to simulate a real dog and ideal for casualty rescue scenarios. Made from flame-retardant, waterproof materials with four times the strength of canvas or PVC, weighted and jointed for lifelike movement. It prepares firefighters for real-life rescue operations. Withstanding temperatures of up to 100°C. Available in 3 sizes - 10kg, 20kg & 25kg.
This online training equips firefighters with the skills and knowledge to safely rescue and care for small animals in emergencies. Through modules, realistic scenarios, and expert guidance, participants learn handling techniques, emergency care, and CPR for household pets —preparing them to respond confidently and effectively on the job.
