First Aid Kits for Dog Owners
Whether you are new to owning a Dog, (or multiple Dogs) or a seasoned professional, no doubt you will be aware, that Dogs do get into mischief and indeed the occasional scrape.
Therefore, it does come in handy to have a Canine First Aid Kit to hand (or in the car, caravan etc).
At this time of year, now that the weather has finally started to warm up, the awful Ticks are definitely out and about.
If you know how to remove a Tick from your dog, and you can get the whole Tick out, then many Canine First Aid Kits do have a Tick remover tool or Tweezers in them, and you can use these.
Who can show me how to remove Ticks from my Dog?
If you are NOT sure how to safely remove a tick, then it is worth having a trip to see a vet nurse or a Dog Groomer. Ask them, if they wouldn’t mind showing you how to do it correctly so you can get the whole Tick out in one go.
You can check the content of most Canine First Aid Kits prior to purchasing, to see if they include a Tick remover. If they don’t have one, you may be able to purchase them at your local vet clinic or groomers.

A great feature included in this Canine First Aid Kit, are the leaflets. These are concise and easy to follow.
With this First Aid Kit from Warwick Comprehensive, you also get a packet of Blood Stop Swabs.
Blood stop swabs are really good to have in First Aid Kits for Dogs. We had not used them prior to one of our Dogs damaging a nail, and these certainly helped to stop the bleeding.
After a call to a vet nurse first for advice, we explained that we had these swabs in our Canine First Aid Kit. We were told it was OK to use them. Now we always suggest having these in Pet First Aid Kits.
This Kit also includes a Tick remover tool. All Dog owners need at least one!

First Aid is always something we seem to think about after something happens, instead of it being a fore thought.
Is First Aid Training something you are interested in knowing more about? Would you like to learn what to do if Fido hurts his paw or gets stung?
There are numerous venues across the UK that run Canine First Aid Training sessions (or even full courses if that is more what you would like to do).
If you contact a Dog Trainer in your area, he/she will be better able to direct you. Many Dog Training clubs and organisations host one day workshops and events that cover basic Canine First Aid, and these are really informative.
Some actually allow you to take your dog along, so you can practice what you are learning, and some hosts take their own dog, that doesn’t mind folk applying bandages etc to it!
And last but by no means least; enjoy the outdoors with your Dog. The lighter, brighter mornings and evenings are upon us, there is no time like the present. The benefits are great for us as well as Fido and that is priceless….
