Question:

Dog first aid kit advice?

by  |  earlier

I was wondering how many people here own or have put together a doggy first aid kit?

I pull, rehab and foster lots of sick dogs and I developed a system Mine is kinda scattered in the hall closet, kitchen, bathroom, garage and outside grooming cabinet. I am considering assembling a separate centralized kit with everything I need. What do you think? My only concern would be that I use everything so often and if I keep everything in a kit it will get scattered everywhere... How comprehensive and redundant would I need to make a separate first aid kit?

Currently my set up is:

Kitchen; typical Rx antibiotics (Baytril, Doxyciclin), tummy aids (Rx and dietary), frontline and heartguard

Bathroom; otc meds like aspirin, benadryl, flush syringes, medicated shampoos, flea dips (will soon be moving these to grooming , cabinet once I get the outside bath installed)

Hall Closet; human first aid kit, extra bandages/vet wrap, iodine, hydrocortisone spray, disposable cloth neonate diapers leashes and training stuff

Grooming cabinet; sheers, clippers and brushes

For the car I use:

  1. looks like youve got plenty of stuff and sounds perfect, but i would keep it all (besides for whats in the car) in the same spot. its just easier and if theres a real emergency youll have a better chance of reacting quicker. i would also have a list of vet phone numbers and your dogs allergies and past injuries/surgeries


  2. At work, we have a cupboard full of everything, and shelves/closets in each area.  The main area has meds (metronidazole, amoxicillin, etc) that we use frequently, bandages, stick wraps, hydrogen peroxide, granulex spray and liquid (it's a wound healer).  We also have shots, bee sting treatments, and everything else (eye/ear cleaning, shampoos, wipes, sprays, etc.).

    Every other area has a more modified list with everything but the meds, and they have brushes too.
