first aid kit

[ferd]

It won't be long until the fun starts! What do you put in your canine first aid kit? I've heard of too many hunts ruined by a late afternoon trip to find a vet.

1.) Superglue - works as a good patch system if your dog gets a good gash. I also carry a staple gun to keep a wound closed until I can get them stiched up.

2.) Iodine - to clean out wounds, or gashes

3.) Gauze - to wrap a cut

4.) Tape

5.) Bendaryl - You never know when your dog will get a reaction to something in the field.

6.) Pliers - Porcupine quills are a bear to get out.

Eye wash to rinse eyes if they get full of goop

Instant cold packs

A box of bandages that includes fingertip and knuckle bandages

Tweezers for plucking small thorns

Ace wrap

Don't forget Vet-Wrap & triple antibiotic ointment.

I'll second the vet-rap and all the others and add some hydrogen peroxide and table salt (to make em barf if they eat something they shouldn't have).

My breeded said to have a jug of isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol in the case that the dog over heats. Pouring it over the neck (and body) will evaporate much quicker than water, helping cool the dog quicker. I have a whole list of things, I will try to grab it from home.

oh yea....and EMT gel was another good one.

I'll second the EMT Gel! Top notch.

Is there a company that sells a good first-aid kit all set up? I seen one at Gamefair this year,but getting pulled by my two kids to go see the dock jump,I didn't get back to that booth.

Check out the Pheasants Forever HSOforum, go to their marketplace and they have the kit under dog supplies. Looks like the same price as what Cabelas and Gander are selling for, so might as well support PF in the process.

If you type "ready dog products" into a search engine, it will come with the site with the 1st aid kit that was being sold at Game Fair. We bought 2 of the kits. The trauma aid kit is very extensive and even has a pull out kit to take to the field with you.
