First Aid Kit - Suggested Contents

Re: First Aid Kit - Suggested Contents

If anyone is interested, I have a full list of "human" OTC meds that are safe for animals with reccomended dosages based on the animals weight.

I'd be interested in this just for home use.

Needle and thread.......several times I have closed up deep cuts on my hands myself, it rarely hurts any worse than the actual wound itself. Plus I stitch my dogs up when they cut paws and stuff, they have a higher tolerance of pain than their owners.

Benadryl.....great for bee stings, mosquito bites and numerous allergies. It even works for our four legged friends that travel with us.

Dan, thanks for the input, I added Needle & Thread to the Equipment section.
The Benadryl was already listed in the Antihistamine line.

o Antihistamine (diphenhydramine - brand name Benadryl)

Why don't you go ahead and post up the full list of "human" OTC meds that are safe for animals with rec comended dosages based on the animals weight, sounds interesting.

Thats what I get for speed reading.....DOH!

This is out of a book that my bro lives by, he trains and hunts Labs. Sorry I don't have the Title/author of the book, but I can get it from him if anyone is interested. I keep a dedicated first aid kit in the camper for the pups...

Looks like a cool book, so when you get the time, please follow-up with your bro regarding the Title and Author, I'd like to check it out.

Also a great idea to have a dedicated "Doggie" first aid kit for the non-human items.

Ya don't need a needle and thread, just break out the super glue, we have used that a few times at our house.
