First Aid Pet Supply Kit
Making a DIY pet supply and first aid kit is a great way to ensure you can care for your pet in case of an emergency or while you are out and about. To best ensure your pet is safe, create a kit for home and a kit to keep in the car. Remember to check your supplies every 6 months to ensure nothing has expired.
The first step to creating your pet supply and first aid kit is to get a container that will fit all your supplies. Clearly label that the box is designated for your pets by decorating the outside.
Here is a simple list to get your pet supply and first aid kit started:
- Gauze pads
- Benadryl
- Antibacterial wipes
- Paper medical tape
- Roll gauze
- Instant cold compress
