When your pet suffers an illness, injury, or poisoning, knowing what first aid to do (and not do) can have a big impact on their recovery, safety, and comfort. Regardless of whether you've taken (or are planning to take) a first-aid class, you still need to have the supplies and "gear" handy to be able to administer first aid to your pet. And that's where having a good pet first-aid kit comes in. Below is an easy and handy guide to putting together an awesome first aid kit for your pet. (Pro tip: keep one at home and one in the car). Although you can buy a ready-made pet first aid kit, you can customize one to the needs of your specific pet with some items you may already have in the medicine cabinet or pantry, plus a few others you can pick up online or at a local pet store.
