So to go over with you the items, we've got our scissors, thermometer and you want to make sure that you clearly marked that this is a dog thermometer so that you don't accidentally use it on humans. You want to have tape and make sure that you actually have tape in here and you are going to have gauze that you can use to turn into gauze pads. You can make your own gauze pads as well as vet wrap. Vet wrap is a great material to use. It is self-adhesive so you want to have your vet wrap available. You should have something that you can use as a muzzle to close the dogs mouth if you need to. You can actually use a real muzzle or just some piece of material cloth that you can use to keep the dogs mouth closed. You need to have a very good supply of cotton balls, Vaseline to use with your thermometer, Hydrogen Peroxide. Hydrogen Peroxide you are going to use if your dog is eaten or ingested something and need to make him vomit. Rubbing alcohol, Betadyne, cough syrup, your care solution, activated charcoal and you can get this from most drug stores.
