Just like you Fido needs a first aid kit when going on long hikes or camping trips...you wouldn't leave home without one and neither should he. Most
dog breeders recommend you have one around the house period if you have a dog. A canine first aid kit is as important as his leash or your hiking boots. You can either purchase a canine first aid kit or assemble one for your pooch it's completely up to you...and if you decide to put one together yourself here are some ideas of what should go in one. Remember the most important thing you can pack...is the knowledge on how to use the items you pack.
- Tweezers
- Multifunction tool
- Plastic digital thermometer
- Panty hose to be used for a muzzle when and if needed
- A handkerchief for washing scrapes, cuts, and other wounds
- Lightweight nylon fabric to use as a stretcher, shade or shelter
- Dog Booty
- Chemical cold pack
- Emergency blanket
- Heavy duty gloves to protect you from being bitten
- Betadine
- Benedryl or another type of antihistamine
- Entic-coated aspirin not ibuprofen or acetaminophen
- Veterinary wrap
- Gauze bandage
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Neosporin or some other antibiotic ointment
Now of course you wouldn't need all of this for a quick run to the park so use your best judgment when taking smaller hikes or day walks and how much stuff you want to pack...maybe Fido could carry the whole thing in his doggy backpack.
