Important Hunting Dog Medical Supplies

Article Title: Important Hunting Dog Medical Supplies
Author: Philippe De Tiege

When out in the wilderness, you need to be ready for any type
of situation. After all, you will generally be out in the
middle of nowhere. That's why hunters normally bring medical
supplies and first aid kits with them. Unfortunately, they tend
to forget about their hunting dogs in that respect. Hunting
dogs can get hurt, too, and they need just as many medical
supplies as you. Because of this, you should stock up on some
hunting dog medical supplies for your next hunting trip.

Hunting dog medical supplies are a bit different than humans'
first aid kits. Dogs rarely benefit from emergency aspirin or
from adhesive bandages. Instead, most of what's in a hunting
dog medical kit is for serious injuries only. After all, most
dogs are tough enough to handle minor injuries. One of the
first hunting dog medical supplies you should get is gauze.
There are occasions where a dog might get a flesh wound. This
can happen if they get in a fight with another animal, or if
they get caught in some brambles. You should carry gauze with
you just in case this happens. When the dog gets hurt, clean
the wound with some water and wrap it with gauze. They should
be fine until the end of your hunting trip.

Another entry into your hunting dog medical supplies kit is a
splint. Dogs are used to running around in tough conditions
without thinking about their safety. This can cause some dogs
to fall off of high places. If this happens, they may end up
breaking a leg. This happens more often than you would expect.
In a case like this, you should splint up your dog's leg with
gauze and splint to keep in safe until you leave. If something
like this happens, you should probably leave immediately.
Broken bones are serious business and the leg should be looked
at by a veterinarian. Because of the importance of this kind of
injury, a splint is one of the must have hunting dog medical
supplies that you should carry with you when you go on your
hunting trip.

There are other, less important items that should be in the dog
health kit. Most large pet stores carry a small kit that you
can bring with you while you're in the wilderness. It will have
all of the small items that you'll need, including tweezers and
antiseptic ointment. Be sure to carry all of these hunting dog
medical supplies with you during your hunt just in case of any
emergency.
