Keeping an emergency first aid kit in your home is as important for your pet as it is for the rest of your family.  Please keep the following PET SAFETY items in a convenient place in your home. (And remember to always keep them out of reach of children.)

• Absorbent cotton - to help stop bleeding

• Non-stinging iodine solution (dilute with water) to cleanse wounds

• Medical tape - to use as bandage adhesive

• Gauze bandage rolls - can be used on wounds and also as an emergency leash

• Gauze pads - to be used as a compress

• Sharp scissors with rounded safety tips

• Tweezers - to remove thorns, splinters and ticks

• Antihistamine for insect bites

• First aid ointment

• Cotton swabs - to cleanse your pet's ears or to apply ointment

• An extra collar with tags and leash

• An extra copy of your pet's medical records

• Photos of your pets (in case they get lost)

• Your veterinarian's name, address, phone number, and emergency hours or your nearest emergency clinic's phone number
