Accidents happen.
To dogs, to other pets, to people.
These dog first aid supplies are just what you need to give your dog a fighting chance until you get her to the vet.
These dog first aid supplies are divided into five sections: tools, supplies for external use, supplies for internal use, items to comfort your dog, and the container to carry them in.
Some supplies may only come in large quantities. To save space in your kit, consider adding only enough to help your dog for several hours. Take along enough for a day or two if you're at a hunting camp or other isolated spot.
Don't forget two very important items.
A book on dog first aid is vital.
You can't know everything that can happen to your dog, or how to treat it.
First Buy a dog first aid book that's small enough to fit into your kit, yet at the same time large enough to have the information you need.
And read it.
Before you need it.
The second important item to have with your dog first aid supplies is clean water. Your dog will need fluids to help her survive.
If you've ever become sick from drinking unclean (or even unfamiliar) water, you know how unpleasant it can be.
If your dog is injured or ill, the last thing she needs is a stomach bug or upset.
If you're traveling by car, take at least a gallon (four liters) of water with you.
Tools
Any animal in pain, even your dog, may snap at you or try to bite as you clean a scrape or close a wound. The first thing you should do is muzzle her.
You can purchase a muzzle, or take strips of pantyhose or other material to tie around her snout.
Learn Dog Handling techniques to help you muzzle and restrain your dog.
