All dog owners know that dogs are very curious and can’t seem to keep their noses out of trouble. Their noses tend to lead them to places we never even think of. They will follow their noses wherever it leads them, no matter what the consequences may be.
It is important to be prepared in the event of a true emergency. With a dog, you simply never know when you might be facing a serious sickness or accident.
Here are some items to include in a first aid kit for dogs:
• Ear cleaning solution
• Plain saline eyewash
• All natural dog shampoo
• Dog nail clippers
• Tweezers
• Electric hair clipper
• Chlorhexidine (wound cleaner)
• Gauze (2 inches wide)
• Bandage tape (1 inch wide)
• Antibiotic ointment
• Hydrocortisone Spray for bug bites or itchy wounds
• 3cc oral medication syringe
• Muzzle
• Benadryl
• Baby thermometer
• 10cc oral medication syringe for flushing wounds or inducing vomiting
• 3% hydrogen peroxide for inducing vomiting
• All natural dog treats for extra special care
Note: Even if you never imagined muzzling your dog, dogs that are in pain are not themselves. Keep it in the kit in case you need to muzzle him to keep him from biting at you or the wound while you are tending to his wounds.
While it is nice to include an all natural dog treat in the kit, be sure he is able to have a treat. If you are dealing with an ingestion emergency, it is better if you refrain from giving him any all natural dog food or treats until a veterinarian has seen him.
I hope that no one ever has to use their emergency first aid kits for dogs, but it is highly recommended that you have one on hand, just in case.
