Emergency Travel Kit

Vet wrap, gauze, chlorhexidine flush for cleansing wounds, thermometer, benedryl, diarrhea and nausea meds, antibiotic ointment, quik stop, tick puller, any prescription meds your dog needs, ice packs, eye wash, . I also carry a clipper to be able to trim the hair away from any wounds.

The items (beyond what I use for people) is:

1. Rabies/vaccination documents (I keep a copy in my daily vehicle and my RV at all times - just in case)

2. Tick tweezers - they work opposite other tweezers/pliers in that when you squeeze they open, that way you can clamp them on the tick and then turn without trying to keep them tightly closed.

3. Horse leg wrapping - it's self adhesive and works to wrap around large body parts, etc.

4. Extra collars and leashes - never know when one will break, etc. I also have a dozen of the groomers' style noose leads.

5. Tie out stakes and cables.

6. Small ID tubes, similar to the old barrel style ones. I can write our campsite, vehicle license number, dates of our stay, etc. on a small piece of paper and then insert it into the tube. I use a dab of crazy glue on the threads when I close it (so it doesn't come undone). When I move to another campground, I switch out the paper.

Except for the leash and muzzle, it's similar to a human emergency kit.:w

Also: I keep a copy of the current vaccination docs and a list of any meds/conditions that our pups or cats have. We keep them in the human emergency kit.

Awesome, thanks! I'm also going to include stuff incase of a skunk incident. Agnes

We include baby aspirins and Cut Heal for scratches (also for us too)

This is a list provided by the AVMA.

I would add to the campers list medications your pet may have needed in the past for diarrhea (metronidazole or loperamide), benadryl, topical cortisone, something for nausea (either zofran or cerenia) and crazy glue.

I'll keep on thinking about other additions.
