Emergency Care

As much as we try to prepare for different scenarios, emergencies can happen. Knowing some pet first aid, or even just where to find information, can help you stay calm and keep your pet stable until you can get to a veterinarian. Pets should always be examined by a veterinarian, even after you administer first aid.

I Heart Dogs has a great article about emergency preparedness.

The American Red Cross has great information about preparing for emergencies with a pet.

They also have a Disaster Safety Checklist you can download here: Disaster Safety Checklist

 

First Aid Kit

Being prepared often means having a First Aid Kit at hand. Many things in a regular First Aid Kit are good for pet situations, including gloves, scissors, tweezers, gauze, saline solution, and antibiotic ointment.

Pet-specific items might include ear cleaning solution, styptic powder, copies of your pet's records, or an extra leash.

The American Humane Society has a great list of items to consider for your pet's First Aid Kit.
