Building A First Aid Kit For Your Teacup or Toy Schnauzer – Essential Supplies For Emergencies

No one should ever have to deal with the tragedy that can strike a pet due to accidents, or natural disasters.  Much like humans need medical attention, from time to time, a pet needs it too.  That’s why it’s crucial to create a first aid kit for your Teacup or Toy Schnauzer and ensure that if anything happens, they are taken care of.  Never neglect to have something for your pet, especially if dealing with a smaller breed.  Consider the following ooptions in regards to building a good kit just in case something happens.

The first thing to have in a first aid kit for your Teacup or Toy Schnauzer is instant ice packs.  These packs become instantly cold when a solution is broken within the interior of the package.  They are usually found in the first aid section and are made for emergencies only.  Instant ice can help with injuries on the run, and can help swelling subside if something bad happens to your pet.  Alongside having cold packs, consider heat packs as well, which can help if the weather is relatively cold.  Both hot and cold packs work in similar fashion, there is a chemical reaction that takes place in the interior of a bag that turns cold or hot, depending on which you choose.

A second otion to look into having is charcoal tablets. (Ask your veterinarian)  These tablets are crucial for dogs that may have eaten something bad in an emergency.  This is especially important for dogs that are amidst rubble of an earthquake, flood, or some sort of natural disaster that warrants them to go into survival mode.  Administering a tablet can help a canine’s digestive tract eliminate the waste by aborbing items that are poisonous.  This is a temporary solution, but in an emergency, it will help immensely.

Another good idea to have in regards to a first aid kit for your Teacup or Toy Schnauzer are essentially the same thing you would have in a kit for humans.  This includes several pieces of gauze, burn cream, alcohol, and bandages.  A dog can easily end up with a cut, and require some sort of aid, and the items aformentioned can assist in a bind.  Lastly, having eye drops or a solution that can clear the eyes of a dog can really go a long way.

The above ar just a sampling of items to put into a good first aid kit for your dog.  It’s important to find more items as well.  Drinking water, for instance is a good idea, alongside other survival pieces.  When in doubt, ask a veterinarian whay they would put into a first aid kit and prune as needed to have something just in case.
