A recent viral video made our dog-parent hearts shatter. Some poor dog in a park came across a porcupine and ended up with a face full of quills — ouch. It’s every pet parent’s worst nightmare, and we all think it won’t happen to our dogs. But what if it does? We should be prepared.
We came across this first-aid kit for pets that would be perfect to keep on hand whenever you’re bringing Bella or Max out of the house. It’s also not a bad idea to keep it around at home. You never know what could happen before you can get to the vet. And it’s only $19.99 (reg. $24.95).
What’s inside?
If that horrible porcupine situation would happen to your precious pup, you’d be prepared with all of these medical supplies:
- Gloves and hand wipes (for you)
- Wound wash
- Antiseptic towelettes
- Gauze and pads
- Bandages
- Antibiotic ointment
- Benadryl
- Tweezers
Your purchase also includes a pet first-aid guide. Reviewing this right away is smart, so you know what to do before anything happens, but you can also reference it again during an emergency.
On the rare chance that your dog meets a porcupine in the park, you could decide whether or not to try removing the quills yourself, how to clean up the wounds, and whether or not it’s severe enough to bring them to the vet. The supplies are also convenient for less serious injuries, like a cut on their paw from a rock while hiking.
Bring it wherever your pet goes—walks, hikes, or puppy play dates. A huge bonus is that if you’re ever the one who gets a cut or scrape, you can use the supplies, too.
Be prepared for whatever nature—or your rambunctious dog—throws at you with this emergency pet kit at $19.99 (reg. $24.95).
