Dog First Aid – DIY First Aid Kit


It’s a good idea to have a first aid kit at home and when you travel just in case you have an emergency with your pet. You can buy one and many courses have them included. Or you can just as easily make your own at home.

You want to be prepared for anything so get yourself a Tupperware storage bin and keep it in a safe place that is accessible to you but out of reach of curious young hands or paws.

Here are some essentials for your first aid kit:


Pet first aid book
Emergency Numbers
Gauze
Self-Adherent Bandages
Digital Thermometer
Hydrogen peroxide
Eye dropper
Blanket or a couple of old towels
Paper Towels
Wipes
Pair of gloves
Tick remover
Scissors
Tweezers
Tongue Depressor
Muzzle
Vaseline
Disinfectant Soap
Cornstarch or Flour

Include any other items you can think of that might help you and your pet in the case of an emergency.

Stay tuned for a series of articles to help guide you through different situations with your dog.
