Components Needed In Canine First Aid

By Joshua Adams


It is advisable to be always prepared for any emergency occurrences. When camping or traveling, it may prove useful to have right tools in a kit to pull them whenever needed to cater for potential injuries and bleeding. This may not be solely applicable to humans but to pets at home and your dog is no different. The following are the essentials to be contained in your canine first aid kit.

The paperwork. This involves having vaccination and medical records as well as emergency phone numbers in hard copy. This is because there may be disruptions of power flow or the cell phone may go off when there is a crisis. In this case, the dog sitter taking care of the pet can reach the owners and get appropriate instructions to handle the emergency situations that might happen.

Hydrogen peroxide. This is a solution that induces vomiting when the pet ingests poisonous consumable. Be sure use the instructions that come with the medicine not to cause further complications to the animal. Always consult the poison control expert to know how to use the peroxide and in what proportions to take. Ensure to have a print out of the guide in case there is no power supply in the event of a crisis.

Appropriate kit. It is a good idea to have rubber gloves, tapes, gauze and a pair of scissors to facilitate the process. Cutting sizable trips to tie up broken fractures will require using scissors, gauze will reduce excess bleeding, tapes will act as shift muzzles. The attendants have to be in gloves, so the blood and his body do not come into contact and hence ensure safety.

The wet wipes. These are small pieces of materials with a suitable absorbent that facilitate cleaning of muddy paw o the animal when getting into the car. They serve many purposes such as wiping the blood from bleeding parts to create a better appeal, removing dirt from the coaches and the cleaning of the ears and eyes of the pet to be well presentable.

Towels. The use of a soft blanket or a towel can be helpful in wrapping the dog up and allow access to the injury without being scratched or bitten. The will provide some comfort which calm the pet down and gives you an easy time checking around what is disturbing the animal. It is also suitable if the grounds are course or too hot to lay the dog for the examination to be conducted efficiently.

Adjustable travel food and water. Having these apparatus around you anytime you are away from home will facilitate feeding as usual. Ensure to carry at least one collapsible watering and feeding bowl so the do can be attended to normally without lots of hassles. Hydrating the dog is important especially when running errands during a hot afternoon.

The medicament. An emergency preparation has to come with the right treatment measures. The need of a standby medication besides the prescribed one can save the situation of a crisis if a kit and its content get destroyed in the process. It is a good idea knowing how to follow instructions highlighted alongside the use of medicine, but if unsure, the local veterinary is ready to offer appropriate guidance.
