How to Pack the Perfect Pet First Aid Kit

As a pet parent, you know accidents can happen. Your dog stumbles on a walk and breaks a toenail. Your cat comes home from an outdoor excursion with a strange cut. Regardless, being prepared is key to handling unexpected injuries, and a first aid “emergency” kit is the first step towards helping your pet make a full and speedy recovery. Just as you keep first aid supplies on-hand for your human family members at home and in your car, a first aid kit for your pet is an easy way to make sure you have what you need, whether you’re caring for a torn toenail, laceration, or a more serious injury that needs immediate attention before heading to your veterinarian.

A pet first aid kit should contain everything you need to provide care wherever you are, so you’re ready for the unexpected. (And let’s be honest – pets always find ways to injure themselves at the most inconvenient times – like the middle of the night!) Many of the items in a pet first aid kit are the same things you would have in a human first aid kit and can be purchased at a pharmacy, grocery store, or local pet store.

A well-stocked pet first aid kit should include:

  • Wound care products
  • Bandages of different sizes
  • Absorbent gauze pads
  • Non-stick pads
  • An instant ice pack
  • An emergency blanket
  • Disposable gloves
  • Cotton balls or pads
  • Scissors with a blunt end
  • Tweezers
  • Medical tape
  • Self-adhesive bandage wrap
  • An extra leash
  • Carrying case to keep everything together
