Important thing to have with you

[Yorkies-Mom]

Ok, more like them going after the bee,

my husband's pit bull is that way - loves to go after bees!! he has been stung so many times you would think he knew better yet you will go out and see him looking like the elephant man standing there drooling!!


i am so glad someone asked this question because i was trying to get together a bag for romeo since i know he will be going places with me alot - as often as i can take him - and i wasn't quite sure what all i would need. the summer weather can be quite brutal here in mississippi and i don't want him to suffer. thanks for the great info!

Happy people liked my question. I have learned a thing or two...or ten from the answers. LOL. Thanks everyone!!!

Oh boy... now I'm ashamed. I never thought of making a doggie aid kit to take with. On the trips to the park or places I've only taken a leash and a bottle of water... ooooooops. I'll take care of a Pepper baggie....

Puppy pads, extra blankets, paper towels, extra leash, puppy first aid kit, dry kibble, baby food jar of chicken, Tylenol (for me), travel bowls and toys. I pack it whenever we go somewhere - just like a diaper bag. Never leave home without it!!

I bought the benadryl from a wal-mart but I did ask my vet the correct dosage to give them. However, it was the same that I found online. Sorry I don't know the link but I'm sure if you search dog and benadryl something will come right up.

thank you

I always recommend to ask your vet. I wouldn't want to give out something wrong to you. I know if you do a search online you will most likely find it but I seriously suggest double checking with your vet. Better safe then sorry

I give my dog generic clariton; I believe it's loratindine (it's the active antihistamine in clariton). You can buy 120/10mg pills at sam's club for around $10. I take one every day & Logan gets a half when he's allergies act up. My vet said this is fine. I like this better cause it doesn't have the extra stuff like benedryl & doesn't make them sleepy. And it really works. We were over at a friends how & their lab had an allergic reaction to something & her mouth began to swell, I happend to have a pill in my purse & they swelling was noticable down within the hour.

I also carry childrens Ibprofen because Logan has been know to get sprains when he plays to hard. This enables him to relax & go to sleep & then he's good as new the next day.

Sweater, her favourite microwavable "sucky toy" (as we call it), a nylabone, couple treats, couple bottles of water, water dish w/ a plastic bag for when it gets wet, food dish & baggie full of royal canin food, harness, potty pads...

I always carry their latest vet/shot record in my purse because we never know when we will take off on the spur of the moment and I know I would forget to take their shot info. We might need this in case of an emergency or if we needed to board them.

Vet told me 1/2 teaspoon, when she had her last appointment. Rosi got stung a couple of days ago, so wanted to make shure so called again , and she said 7ml in a syringe !
