Pet Care Hints & Tips
What should I do in an accident?
Precautions
Whether you own a dog or a cat, it is likely for accidents to occur. Being able to offer temporary treatment in the home can greatly help your pet's chances of recovery. Having a standard pet first aid kit around the home will assist you if required. This is very similar to that of a human first aid kit and should include:
- Bandages
- Sticky Tape
- Sterile Swabs
- A pet collar
- Scissors
- Various patches and swabs to clean wounds on a temporary level, until you can visit a vets practice.
