First aid kit and bandana for dogs: Product review

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

First aid isn’t anything to mess around with. In an emergency, sometimes seconds count. The mind races, you want immediate access to the necessary supplies to: stop the bleeding, cover the wound, stop the pain, clear an airway, etc. Fido can’t tell us where it hurts or how to make it stop. That’s our job as guardians and dog owners.

Thank dogness for companies like Wag’n Enterprises. Two products that recently made their way across the desks of the staff at FIDO Friendly magazine are the:

* Skinny Mayday First Aid Kit™ which sells for $18.95 and includes these essentials for dogs and cats:

2 x Tongue Depressor
2 x PVP Iodine Wipes
4 x Cotton Swabs
1 x Scissors
2 x Antibiotic Ointment (1g)
2 x Large Vinyl Gloves
1 x Plastic Tweezers
1 x Styptic Powder
4 x Alcohol Prep Pads
3 x IckyBoo Bags (Poop Bags)
1 x Triangular Bandage 40”x40”
1 x Pencil
2 x Gauze Pads 3”x3”
1 x Towelettes (Handy wipes)
1 x PEN Light
1 x Content Card
2 x “Incident Report” Pages
1 x “What’s Normal” Info Page

I hope that I won’t have a need for these items, but if my dog gets scrapped, cut, or has any sort of unexpected injury, this is a handy, portable, lightweight and aesthetically pleasing kit to have. I love that it takes the guesswork out of what should go in the first aid kit. A more inclusive kit is also available.

* The second product is Wag’n Enterprises First Aid Bandana™, which sells for $7.95 and is a must-have for any dog owner.

Whether Fido wears bandanas or not, this is one of those ingenious “why didn’t I think of that” products. Let the video below illustrate why:
