What do you have in it? Now that we are doing more outside of our home, I am thinking that we should carry one, but want to make sure I am thinking of everything I need to put inside one.

Thanks,

Shannon

Yes. I have one. I may need to update some of the items in it. I have neosporin, benedryl, buffered aspirin, wound wash, hydrogen peroxide, a syringe, some vet wrap, gas x, immodium, and saline eye wash.

How timely...thanks I was just putting one together.

I have a lot of that stuff, just not in a "kit" Don't forget the Quik-Stop stuff in case you clip your dog's nail and hit the blood vessel!

Single use icepack.
tongue depressors
flexable bandage (vetwrap)
tweezers
hydrocortisone cream
triple antibiotic cream
cotton balls
antiseptic wipes
surgical sponges
rubber gloves
q-tips
vet tape
styptic (spelling) pen
saline solution
scissors
hydrogen peroxide
ace bandgae

I have one at home that I take with us on vacations, but as far as walks in the parks, etc, I don't carry one. Since it pretty much is the same as our human one, I can use one from the vehicle if something happens. The only real difference between Caleb's and ours is Caleb's has dog booties and a rectal thermometer, and ours has band-aids.

I have the same- + some extra dressings- 4x4, 2x2 etc. and an ear wash- I keep one at home that can travel with us- and one in our camper.

Yes, I have a dog/human one that lives in the car, as my car is wherever I am, basically.

I have:
- vet wrap, three rolls
- different sizes of gauze
- box of varied sizes of bandaids
- hydrogen peroxide
- pedialyte
- saline eye wash
- saline wound flush
- q tips
- miracle dust
- scissors
- tweezers
- a few different sized syringes
- liquid band-aid
- a few cans of dog/cat food (in case I need to lure a stray)
- two extra leashes
- alcohol wipes
- buffered aspirin
- benedryl

I *think* thats it. It's all I can remember at the moment, anyhoo.

One thing I did was store it all in a soft sided cooler, so that the insides don't get too hot/cold depending on the season.

Wanted to add, I also keep bowls and bottles of water in the car at all times.

Bruce Fogle's "First Aid for Dogs" is IMO an EXCELLENT resource and should be part of every kit, it's so good I have 2 of them. Paperback from Amazon, about $11 new, as cheap as 25¢ used, + S&H. Clear instructions on how to treat, the urgency of seeing a vet (e.g.: only if, next day, ASAP). It should be part of every dog owner's kit.

"Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook" (by Giffin, Carlson, et al.) also has a worthwhile section on emergency treatment but not as extensive as Fogle's. It is very much worth it for general health care at all ages and stages (puppy → maternity → geriatric) and will save it's price ($25 new) many times over in answering questions you'd ask your vet.

I'm like Justine - I have all the "stuff" but it is here and there around the house.
