lofti 579 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) youve probaly got most of the suff in your home first aid box, bandages tape sissors ect,, skinstaples are essential mate they will save you a fortune, get some vet wrap is good to for damaged stoppers ect,, warm salt water is as good as anything for cleaning cuts, just found out recently about something called "cut and heal " this really speeds up the healing of bites.

MikeTheDog 153 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) Good long list of things to take, some I wouldn't bother with and most we all hope never to use. One very important item to take with you when ever you take the dog out.....mobile phone with at least two good vet numbers and also their emergency number..Imo more important than most things on that list. And if you are planning on stitching, stapling or gluing out in the field what about sterilised water to flush the wound with!...I'd hate to think all you budding seamstress's would stitch a dirty wound.
