The only pet care I've ever really used is a styptic spray for cuts and some gauze bandaging. I didn't realize you could have such an extensive pet care kit.

The only thing I have for my dog is a brush, shampoo, food, treats, chew sticks, nail clippers, collar, and a leash. She has lived just fine for 7 years this way. But she is a backyard dog, if you lived in the country or near something where your dog could get hurt, you may want to find a first aid kit.

I have a whole cabinet full of stuff for my dogs. Toothpaste, brush, ear medicine, flea treatment, heartworm, neosporin and stuff like that. I have never got and purchased a specific dog first aid kit. My older dog got bit by a german shepard on the back near the top of the tail. I put neosporin on it and watched it really good. The next time she was at the vet I told him about it and he took a look and said I did a really good job of treating it. :)

Never thought of a first aid kit for pets! Our pets are just like one of the family, and I can't believed that something that important was overlooked! Getting one!

After a couple of casual, small injuries that cost too much, I bought a simple pet specific first aid kit from www.ezgobag.com. Might even be like insurance 'cuz I haven't needed it since!
