Gee111 6 Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Hi. I would just like to know if any of you carry a first aid kit for your dogs while out? If you do can I please ask what your kit contains. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post

bullmastiff 615 Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Large wound dressing and electrical tape in me rucksack (for me or the dog!) Electrical tapes great stuff, it'll stick to itself but doesn't stick too well to fur so can be used to hold a wound closed but peels off okay. Also if you own a light force lamp it's essential!! 4 Quote Link to post

white van man 3,299 Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Wound dressing, small capsule of saline fluid, roll of vet wrap and some tape. Basic but pretty much all you need until I can get back to the motor or to home. No point having anything in there you don't know how to use!! Also carry a set of decent pliers as this helps to deal with the cause (wire/large splinters) before doing the treatment. ATB 3 Quote Link to post

J Darcy 5,871 Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 I don't carry anything with me, but back in the car I have a bag that has most things in it I will need. A towel, a coat for the dog, metacam, staple gun, couple of bandages, some vet wrap of various thicknesses and some cut and heal. It is a 'just in case' bag and it's come in handy over the years. Quite a few christmas days ago I was out with the dog that I had at the time. He took off after a roe and when he came back he was losing alot of blood. I had nothing to stem the bloodflow until I got home. I was ill prepared, so from then onward I got myself a few essentials together. I hope I never have to need it for anything serious again.... 6 Quote Link to post

David Aiken 253 Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 The minimum I carry is a pair of surgical gloves self closing bandage and a silver blanket for shock. The bandages are great, £1.50 from Wilko`s, they have latex in them are self seal and are reusable. Great for sprains as well ;-) http://www.wilko.com/first-aid/wilko-blue-cohesive-bandage/invt/0348502 Full First Aid Kit in the 4x4 and car as I`m a First Aider. 2 Quote Link to post
