In my previous post, Pet First Aid Kits – Part 1, I wrote about the importance of having a pet first aid kit for your dogs and cats. Ideally, if you have a dog, we recommend you have two kits; one kit for the house and a second kit in your car. If you do a lot of hiking with your dog, we recommend you carry your second kit with you on all hikes. Believe it or not the following contents will fit in a medium to large size fanny pack!
Even if you choose to buy a ready-made pet first aid kit, the following list will serve as a good guideline of what to look for in a kit. I encourage you to add to this list based on your particular needs. For example, if your dog has a medical condition requiring medication, you might want to consider adding their medication to your pet first aid kit.
So now you have bought your pet first aid kit. Congratulations! But, you are probably silently wondering what to do now. I hear it all the time…friends and family often tell me they would not know what to do if their dog or cat is injured. I do have a solution for you! Stay tuned for my next post!
Wow! We are not prepared at all!!! Need to go shopping!
Hi Hiromi! Believe me, you are not alone! Even if someone has a pet first aid kit, it’s a good reminder for them to check and replenish items as needed.
