| ![]() I didn't know dogs could take benadryl! Adding my soft muzzle, canned pumpkin, benadryl, and rescue remedy...I almost always have mellow mut by dogswell on hand but a liquid for such would work so much better in a emergency kit! hmmmmmmm redoing my kits. I know what I'm making for everyone and giving away at Christmas next year to family member's dog! Keep it coming I'm okay with having a large kit...better to be over prepared than not prepared at all...might need a bigger bag though...

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | ![]() In addition to the items listed above, I also have a little flow sheet that I update periodically with the dog's latest weight (for dosing), latest vaccine info, as well as the phone #'s and address to the ER Vet. I also programmed my car's GPS with the address so I can find it in a hurry.

| ![]() those are really good ideas! i have some of the basics, but they are just willy-nilly in the bathroom, it would be smart to put them all in one safe place. ![]() |

| ![]() I would also add something to stop bleeding. Such as if your dog's nail was cut to short > i like Ellie May's list , very good and specific.

| ![]() think about maintenance on the kit too. As time passes, things expire. Check peroxide especially, as when you need it to work it's generally an emergency. Go through your kits at least twice a year, toss expired stuff and restock stuff you've used. |
