The canine first aid kit

CQ Health Flash
A follow-up with your Vet is always recommended after treating an urgent situation. Animal Poison Control Center: 888-426-4435
Being prepared with a Canine First Aid Kit may help you to help your canine companion through minor bumps and bruises and more serious illness or injury, giving you the precious extra time you may need to reach adequate veterinary care. Canine First Aid Kits can be put together rather easily with items found in most pharmacies, drug, and pet stores. A carry-bag or briefcase with multiple pockets and compartments will ease the task of organizing and finding what you need - when you need it. They can also be purchased ready-made, with many supplies already included. A plastic bin with a snug fitting lid can store larger items. You may want to create two kits: one with essentials for short trips or walks and one, more complete kit to handle just about any emergency. The following items are recommended for your Canine First Aid Kit:

First: Buy a dog first aid book that is small enough to fit in your kit, but complete enough to include the
information you need.
