Recommended Pet First Aid Kit
I researched and checked into many first aid kits for dogs and people. There are some good options, but many fall short. My favorite is this one, and is the one I keep on hand for my dog.
I added blood clotting powder to the first one I got, because it did not have it. Thankfully, it is now included in the kit.
It comes in a nice small bag that is easy to tuck into the car for road trips and even everyday for our regular trips to the dog park and hiking trails. I recently packed it up for our recent plane ride to visit family, which was very handy to have with us.
