Home Vet Bag: A Comprehensive Pet First Aid Kit for Emergencies

NGHartford: This kit is a great start, but I added several things to mine to make me feel more prepared for an incident. The first is a Burts Bees saline solution for eye wash. This kit comes with some but I prefer Burts Bees. Other things I added include a hydrogen peroxide rinse, an antiseptic spray (easier to apply than an ointment on a squirmy dog) a flee comb, a tick remover, a LED emergency light up collar, two meals worth of dog food, and some leftover prescription puppy pain killers (essentially doggy ibuprofen- you can ask your vet for some) the thing i FORGOT to add and that is NOT include is styptic powder. This should be a must in every first aid kit and I was sure it came with some but looking frantically after accidentally clipping my pups quick proved otherwise. I had to send my husband to Walgreens to get some so needless to say we are now well stocked, but i was very disappointed it wasn't included. Overall, its a great little bag- I like that its labeled pet emergency and it does OK for minor incidents.

Laura Harrington NopperLaura Harrington Nopper: The bag it's self is nice enough quality. It has several different compartment to organize your supplies in whatever manner suits your needs.

The provided supplies are a decent enough starting place. Some of the items such as the bandage sheers do not feel particularly sturdy or reliable to me. I wouldn't recommend relying on them and picking up a decent medical grade pair.

The thermometer is ok quality and reads reliably.

The small individually labeled inner pouches are a nice idea. Bandaging, tools, wound care etc... I chose to immediately add my existing supplies to those. And built on the kit immediately.

The guide book is a good preliminary read. An actual pet first aid class and manual is really indispensable and if it is within your means, a very good idea.

I like the kit overall. It is a great starting place providing a really basic overview of what should be in every pets kit.

I recommend practicing with the items beforehand so you can use them effectively in the event of first aid situation.

James Cardenas: Very happy with items in this kit, I added items we already had, ear wash, septic powder etc. Definitely recommend for any pet owner to have just in case, better to have it than not

Stacey: Finally! Something affordable and customized from a real vet. I don’t typically buy things I see advertised however this one should be a no brainer to have. Whether you are a breeder or pet owner this bag is a must have. You cannot buy each item or the bag itself at that price.(yes, I checked) also comes with a manual to help with the questions of when to vet ASAP and what can wait for the vet the next day

AlexAlex: This bag has everything I need in case of an emergency for my fur-babies! I've purchased other emergency kits previously and found them lacking. As a veterinarian, I want to know that my clients would be prepared in case of an emergency and this bag definitely fits the bill! I am planning a cross-country trip in the very near future and plan to keep this close by! I also have ample space for ear cleaner, my pet's medications, nail clippers, and treats! This purchase was most definitely worthwhile!
