Hey everyone,
For my first post in the blogging world I decided to share an easy list of things that you should always have with you when you take your dog places. This list is meant for minor injuries or to help stop bleeding on major injuries for the trip to the vet.
1. You need a bag the has many different compartments that are able to zip, preferably red so you can always find it.
2. Benadryl. this is great for bee stings, spider bites, or any minor allergic reaction. The dose varies depending on the size of your dog, but one pill is safe to give any size dog. Even a tiny chihuahua puppy.
3. Antiseptic cleansing wipes, these are great for minor cuts caused by tree branches, cat scratches, cuts on their pads, etc.
4. Gauze pads, these are great to use when wrapping up cuts to keep them clean. They also are great to use to apply topical medication.
5. Vet Wrap, this stuff is amazing, it sticks to its self but not to the fur on the dog. This can be used for so many things but one thing would be to help wrap up a cut to keep it clean and prevent the dog from licking to wound.
6. Rubbing Alcohol, this is used to rinse any cuts and scrapes your dog may get.
7. Tweezers, these are great to get cat tails out of the the dogs paws, ears, nose, etc. Also these are great to get any sticker or glass that may end up in its pad.
8. Hydrogen peroxide, this is used to induce vomiting if your pet eats something that is should not have. Such as your medication or to much of their pills. Only use this when directed by a vet or poison-control to do so.
9. Rectal thermometer, your pet's temperature should not rise above 103 F or fall below 100 F
10. Any type of lubricant for the thermometer
12. A foil emergency blanket, use this if the temperature is to low, and call your vet right away.
11. Ice pack, this is to cool the dog off if it's temperature is to high, and call your vet right away.
