Summary: As 'man's best friend,' we have a welcomed obligation to care for our pals, and every pet owner knows that this can be a full time job. Our dogs lovingly weave their way into our family, and much like a child that encounters the occasional accident, dogs can find their way into trouble as well. So, if we keep a handy dandy first aid kit for our human blunders, why not incorporate the same preparation for our animals?
