Every dog owner should create a first-aid kit or purchase one from a pet store. First-aid kits can vary in number of items. Your veterinarian may suggest items in addition to these:
- Gauze roll to wrap wounds or use as a muzzle
- Adhesive tape for bandages
- Non stick bandages such as Telfa pads (Soft, nonwoven backing conforms around wound and seals on all four sides; provides protection from external environment)
- Vet Wrap rolls
- towels and cloth
- Hydrogen Peroxide (3 percent)
- Milk of Magnesia or activated charcoal to absorb poison (use only with advice of a vet or poison control center)
- Eyedropper for oral treatments
- Stretcher (a blanket, board or floor mat)
- Thermometer (normal temperature is 100 to 102.5 degrees)
- Tweezers
- Antibiotic ointment
- Cotton Swabs
- Instant cold pack
- First Aid Book
- Scissors
- Pliers to remove porcupine twills
- Rags or rubber tubing to use as a tourniquet in a life-threatening situation
- Flashlight
- Bottled water
- Emergency phone numbers for your vet and pet hospital
