The rising cost of visiting a vet stay makes it imperative that every pet have some type of health care coverage. For reduce the cost, every home need pet’s first aid kit.

People have them so why not for your pets like cats, dogs, birds and other else. Some times your pet can get into a fight or maybe stung by a bee and needs some quick first aid. Your vet might not be open, especially after hours. In small towns often there's only one or two vets so knowing how to take care of your pets until you can get them to the vet is very important. You might want to make one for your car if you take your pets (cats, dogs) for walks. It's a good idea to be prepared.

Most of the items in your pet’s first aid kit are similar to those you have in your regular one for the family. There is however some things that needs to be specialized for your pets. In fact if you haven't already done so this might be a good time to make one up for both you and your pets. This will probably make you do it as we always want to care for our pets even if we let things for ourselves go.

Keep everything in a plastic case with a tight lid. That will keep it dry and everything all together so you won't have to run all over trying to find something. Also keep the number for the vet in there especially for the one you keep in the car. If there's an emergency animal hospital you should include that number as you will not want to try to find the number especially if the injury is serious. You won't want to take the time.

If the injury is serious and your pet (dog) is fighting you it is a good idea to restrain them so include a bath towel for that purpose in your car kit.

Apply a sauve on the area which you can obtain from a pet supply or your vet.

Talk to your pet the whole time you are doing anything. They will be scared and probably won't act like they usually do so be careful and above all take your time. If your pet sees you rushing around this can be very upsetting to them. So, be calm and take care.
