First Aid Kit For Your Pets

The last thing you want is for your pets to get hurt. It is hard being a parent to pets; it requires a lot of love, dedication, and love. Raising them is equal to raising a child of your own. No matter what they pack with themselves, you will not exchange it for anything in the world, right?

One of your primary focus should be on preparing a first-aid kit for your pooch. Be prepared for any emergency beforehand.

What should the first aid box contain?
A first box should have all the necessary and immediately required medicines and instruments during emergencies. The medical emergency varies from one pet to another. Some may have minor cuts, itching, bruises, or fleas, while others may find their pet feeling weak. The good news is that your pre-pared first aid kit can be of utmost assistance.

Instruments

• Latex Gloves
  To be used while you dress a wound on your pet in order to maintain hygiene and safety.
• Digital Thermometer
  Just as for humans, a digital thermometer is used to measure your pet’s body temperature. Make sure that your and your pets’ thermometers are separate and mark it clearly.
• Bandage Tape
  Bandage tape is needed to cover up the wound in case your pooch gets injured.
• Surgical Scissors
  It is used to cut bandages and should be sterilized before and after you treat the wound.
• Cotton
  Cotton is used to clean up the wound with the use of antiseptic.

Medicines
In case your pet has minor cuts, treat the wound with an antiseptic.Buy the meds from a particular vet or supply store.

Use antibiotic powder to avoid bacteria and germs infesting on the wound.
Keep medicines like anti-diarrheal, anti-emetic, and antacid but make sure to consult doctor beforehand.
