What's in Your First Aid Kit?

First thing to remember is that the following information is to help prepare you for an emergency and it DOES NOT replace the directions of a licensed veterinarian. 

Having a well stocked emergency kit on hand for your pets can be a life saver.  Preparing a kit is easy and inexpensive.  It should be kept in an area that is easy and quick to obtain.  Schedule a quarterly check of both your human and pet's kit for expired, damaged or missing product.
