From wasp bites, to heat exhaustion, to injuries – it’s never something we want to happen, but it’s something we as dog owners need to be prepared for. Packing a first-aid kit with items tailored to your dog is hopefully something you’ll never need to use, but is definitely a good idea to have – especially items we don’t typically carry in our own first-aid kits. Below is a list of contents I like to pack for adventures with my dogs:
Tips: Write down the proper dosage, frequency and expiration of medications, benadryl, aspirin and hydrogen peroxide either on the containers themselves or on a cheat sheet to keep in the kit. This not only prevents uncertainty if you use them, but makes them easy to replace.
