An Emergency Kit for Your Dog

If you have a dog, you need two of these. Seriously. Two. One will be for the car and the second one will be left at home. It is an emergency kit for that possible awful moment when your dog needs some serious medical attention.

Dr. Holly Nash has compiled a list of what is needed. She lists the phone numbers that will be needed, the supplies and the medication:

You think nothing of spending time searching for a toy that your dog will enjoy. And the outrageous cost of that toy does not deter you. So many people do not hesitate to extend those kindnesses to the dog. This emergency kit (really kits) is also a kindness. It may give your dog some precious time and comfort before reaching veterinary assistance.

We absolutely hate to think of what may befall our family dog and we inadvertently avoid putting together such kits. However, this really is a necessary precaution. And it would be just wonderful if you never ever need to use it.
