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.
