Bandaging and dressing materials are to help control bleeding
and keep wounds clean until they can be treated by your
veterinary surgeon

splinters and insect stings from paws and skin
For cutting tape, gauze, splints, or fur
Can be used to secure dressings or to attach protective bags
etc. (and is easy to tear).
Used to flush out minor wounds or the eye, to remove foreign
matter including contaminants, dirt, grit or fur.
Always wear gloves when dealing with an injury to reduce any
further contamination of the injury. Discard after use.

It is important to remove a tick in the correct manner.
Incorrect removal, such as simply pulling it off, can remove
the body of the tick but leave the head behind. This can lead
to irritation and infection.
Note down phone numbers for your local vet and the
emergency service. If your pet has had any recent treatment
or illness, or is on medication, it is worth keeping a copy of
their medical records to hand. Useful for an emergency vet to
have immediate information to-hand.
Additional items you could add (not included in our prepared first aid kit):
Water
Blanket/towel
Plastic pouches/bags
Medications
Instant ice packs
Sterile lubricating jelly
Water can be used to flush out minor wounds. It is useful for rehydrating a pet, soothing burns,
washing off toxins, soaking a paw, or cooling an overheated pet.
You can use a blanket or towel to wrap your pet in on the journey to the vet, or if your pet is
immobile you can use it as a stretcher to lift your pet on.
Used to cover foot injuries and help keep them clean, fasten with tape. This will help minimise blood
spillages on to carpets, furniture and your car.
If your pet is on regular medication, it is wise to keep a small amount in the first aid kit. In addition,
consider sugar tablets for diabetic pets with low blood sugar.
These are useful for reducing inflammation and swelling
This can be used to cover wounds and eye injuries to prevent further contamination
