Your Pet First Aid Kit
Prepare for an emergency by having important tools on hand.
This page is a work in progress... more items will be added soon!
​
Your First Aid Kit is NOT your Disaster Preparedness Kit, they're going to be listed here as two different things. Your First Aid Kit is a component of your disaster preparedness kit.
Have AT LEAST 3 Pet First Aid Kits
1) For Home 2) For Your Car 3) To Carry on Outings With Your Pet
Start With a PreMade Kit
It's easier and more cost effective to start with a pre-made first aid kit,
and adding to it instead of buying every piece on it's own.
Items I Would Add & Why
Assuming you start with a pre-made kit, either human or animal, below
is a list of items I would add and/or ensure are in the kit.
​
This list is Extensive. Meaning it has more items than your average pet owner would use in an emergency situation. However, my thought here is I would rather be over prepared than under prepared and not have what I need to help my pet in the event of an injury or emergency.
Pre-Made Kits to Add to
M17 First Aid Kit
This is the kit I've used as a base for my home & car kits in the past
If on outings like hiking, I use both of these as my carry kits. I also keep one of the 188 pcs ones in my car.
