Pet First Aid

Just like us humans, our pets can also suffer from injuries anytime and anywhere.  We have a basic first aid kit to turn to when we need a bandage for a cut or antiseptic wipes to kill bacteria , our pets also need their own first aid kit. Being prepared with basic supplies – whether camping, hiking, in your car, or in your home – can help lead to a positive outcome for your pet during an emergency. Since pet emergencies are unexpected and may not happen frequently, even minor emergencies can be stressful. Having the right items handy can help you to feel more confident and speed up the time needed to respond.

Cause you already have a basic first aid kit for human injuries, so preparing a pet first aid kit may as simple as adding some crucial items. You can buy a ready-made kit or make your own. Be sure to include a leash, necktie, dishtowel, or similar soft cloth item to use as a muzzle, or purchase a muzzle to put in your kit. Your dog may lash out in fear and pain. Securing his muzzle keeps you both safe in an emergency. Include non-stick bandages, self-cling gauze, and paper tape to dress wounds in an emergency. You may also want to include a pet thermometer to help determine if your pet is too hot or too cold. Other useful items can include splint supplies, compresses, antiseptic spray and wipes, gloves, tweezers, eyedroppers, plastic syringes for giving oral medication, clean towels, blankets, and a natural product to help calm your animal. 

The most important thing is to ensure that the pet gets through the emergency or a life-threatening event long enough for medical help to arrive. The first thing is pet restraint. A humane restraint is necessary to ensure that the pet does not harm the owner and other people around. It will also prevent the pet from inflicting further harm since animals tend to struggle when suffering from injury or pain. Remaining calm is encouraged. The prospect of losing a beloved pet could induce one to get stressed or could lead to panic. However, an injured animal is already frightened and the owner will only aggravate the situation if he could not get himself under control.
