Ideally, every pet owner should have three first aid kits: one for home or camp, one for the car, and a third to take wherever you go.

Pet first aid kits include special items not normally found in kits intended for human injuries. Pet first aid kits ensure pet owners have what they need in any situation and don’t need to use workplace first aid kits intended for humans.
