For all dog owners and lovers, the most important thing is their dogs’ health, that’s why they keep searching and investigating to ensure their dogs safety. Dogs’ curiosity makes them get injured sometimes and no one can blame them, they want to play, jump, and do what makes them happy! On these times, it’s important to have a first aid kit to help your dog. I know you don’t want to play a vet role, but it’s REALLY urgent!
You can buy a pre-made first aid dog kit or if you like, put one together yourself. Below find a list of supplies to always have on-hand. Also, designate a particular and permanent place in your home for your emergency dog kit. Emergencies can occur suddenly and without warning. Timing is critical! Knowing what to do (and what not to do: see Human Medications Safe for Dogs) and having quick access to emergency supplies could be the difference in saving your Schnauzer’s life.
If you would like to make your own dog first aid kit for your Miniature Schnauzer so you are better prepared to handle a minor dog injury or a pet emergency, assemble together the following items in a plastic storage bin or box:
gauze pads
adhesive tape
tweezers
syringes
scissors
rectal thermometer
cotton balls
towel
surgical gloves
styptic powder
hydrogen peroxide
eyewash solution
vaseline/ lubricant jelly
antiseptic wipes
instant cold compress (gel packs)
instant hot compress
alcohol swabs (to sterilize)antibiotic ointment for non-puncture wounds (Polysporin)
Rubber Bulb Syringe Good to use when needing to flush out the eyes, ears, or wounds.
Keep your emergency kit in the same place and always well-stocked by replacing the supplies as you use them. This way you’ll be sure to always have on-hand the items you need to tend to your Miniature Schnauzer’s mishaps.
Include or attach the telephone numbers to Animal Poison Control: (888) 426-4435 and the nearest Emergency Pet Hospital, as well as your Vet’s telephone number.
Another great idea is to take a course on pet emergency and CPR.
By few tips, you can save your dog from numerous dangers. Keep working on yourself, you are a perfect dog owner! WE TRUST YOU and your DOG trust you!
