Build a Dog First Aid Kit

Safety First!

We always bring a first aid kit for our dogs when we vacation. When we're at home we keep it in a handy location as well. You can certainly purchase a ready made kit, but you can also make one of your own.   Here are some important items to consider including in your own.

Gauze

Clippers or Small Scissors

Hydrogen Peroxide

Aspirin

Allergy Medication

Cotton Balls

Eye Wash

Anti-itch Spray

Ear Wash

Topical Antibiotic Ointment
Blood Clotting Gel
