First Aid Kit

It is always a great idea to have a first aid kit available. I keep one in the house and one in the car in case we are traveling or camping/hiking. You can go online and buy kits already made, but if you wanna make a fun project out of it here are some of the basic things you will want to have. First find a old or new duffel bag. It doesn't have to be really big just light weight easy to carry. All the things I list you can either buy online for a discount or at any medical supply store.

• Adhesive Tape
• Self-Adherent Wrap
• 4x4 Gauze Bandage
• Gauze roll, 2-inch
• Wound Wash Saline
• Bandage Scissors
• Hemostat
• Digital thermometer
• Scissors
• Syringe
• Extra Leash
• Muzzle
• Gloves
• Sterile eye lubricant
• Instant cold pack
• Material to make a splint
• Topical antibiotic ointment (pet friendly)
• Small blanket and cloth
• Make a laminated medical card with your Vets information a Emergency clinic information and any medical information about your pet
• Print off basic emergency care hand book with basic guides to bandaging and CPR.

You can put as much of each item that you feel is necessary for you.

If you would like more information about pet first aid you can go to the Red Cross website and sign up for either classroom or online class.
