Pet First Aid Book For Dogs And Cats

[labsrule]

I was responding to a fellow Lab owner in the Labrador sub forum regarding treatment for a particular injury her Lab suffered and remembered about this Pet First Aid Book I purchased from the Australian Red Cross a few years ago. It contains valuable information you need to help keep your pet safe and act with confidence during an emergency, until you can take your dog or cat to a veterinarian and thought it worthwhile to post about this book in this forum also. It is well worth the $21.95 and I have included the link to purchase this book:

Pet First Aid Book thru the Australian Red Cross

There is also a book put out by Animal Emergency Centre (written by Carole Harvey-Stevenson) called "The Animal Emergency Centre of Brisbane, Guide to First Aid for your Pet". I brought mine from our local vet but I have seen them around ... they are also sold at Vet Products Direct.

When we had 2 dogs I brought a copy for each dog and one spare (for home). Using the book I made up a first aid kit for each of the dogs (including a copy of the book) and then made up a larger kit for home (including the spare copy of the book).

If I had a dog in the car then I also had his first aid kit ...

It was probably a bit overboard but after having our GSD cut an artery in his leg and nearly bleed to dead ... I wanted to make sure there was enough supplies around the place.
