If you’re looking for a full dog medical emergency kit The Workin’Dog Kit  is a one-stop- solution for keeping your companion safe. The kit contains the information and veterinarian-grade supplies you need to deal with serious emergencies. Key components of the kit include the Canine Field Medicine Book plus a Survive Outdoors Longer Emergency Blanket to treat shock and hypothermia, an LED headlamp for hands-free illumination, an emergency leash, an emergency cold pack for sprains, strains and heat exposure, and a self-adhering elastic bandage that won’t stick to a dog’s hair.

The kit even includes a disposable skin stapler to close serious wounds out in the field when you are far from medical care.
