ANIMAL EMERGENCY KITS
Most dogs love to be outside. They love to go along on camping trips or hikes or walks on the beach. If you take your dog along on these outings you’re giving it a real treat. You bring along the right food and plenty of water almost automatically. But do you ever think of a first aid kit? Animals, just like people, can get into plenty of trouble in the great outdoors, especially if the area offers lots of new smells to explore. Talk with your veterinarian before your next campout. Some dogs may need special items, but most dogs will be well covered by a pre-packaged animal first aid kit. Remember whenever you travel with your dog, take along your vet’s phone number, a poison control hotline number, and proof of rabies vaccination. You may also want to pack other vital medical records, particularly if your dog has any chronic conditions like diabetes.
Deluxe Veterinarian Recommended First Aid Kit
This comprehensive first aid kit is designed for all small mammals: not just dogs, but cats, ferrets, hamsters and other rodents, even wallabies. The instruction booklet will guide you in your care of your animal, while an emergency care card allows you to record what you have done for your vet’s information. The kit includes iodine, styptic to stop bleeding, antibiotic ointment, and eye wash, as well as bandages, cotton swabs, and gauze. Instruments include tweezers, scissors, syringes, a thermometer, and an eye dropper, as well as hot and cold packs and a blanket.
Other items, not included in the kit, which may be useful include a leash or carrier, hydrogen peroxide, isopropyl alcohol, towels, and a flashlight. A muzzle is also important. Even a dog that normally is docile and obedient may bite if it is hurt or frightened.
