So it is important that you have a first aid kit already prepared and everything is one spot so that you can grab it in case of an emergency., Typically if there is an emergency situation going on, you are not going to run around all the house and find the things that you might need to take care and help your dog until you can get them to a veterinarian specialist. So you want to have one location where everything is together. It doesn't matter if it is a box, case or a bag. I am going to be using a case right nows to demonstrate to you what the items are that you are going to need in the case. So this is the case we are going to be looking at. You see there is lots of room in this case to put all different stuff and I have a list here of the different things you are going to want to have in your first aid case. You are going to want to have a thermometer, iodine, alcohol, cotton bowls, syringe, vet wrap, gauze, tape, scissors, tweezers, Kaopectate or some other binding agent. Pepto Bismol is also fine, activated charcoal. You want to have the telephone number for the Poison Control Center somewhere clear in your case, Hydrogen Peroxide and a blanket.
