Let’s talk first aid ⛑️🩹🐕 (warning: graphic photo)
Last year, I had my first real first aid emergency on a walk.
One of my doggies had their ear ripped open by another dog. I stayed calm and dealt with the situation, but it made me realise that the human first aid kit I’d adapted for dogs just wasn’t enough.
That experience prompted me to invest in a proper canine first aid kit from . I hoped I’d never need it… but I wanted to be prepared if I ever did.
Fast forward to this morning.
Just 20 minutes into our walk, Cosmo jumped into a shallow stream (one he’s been in countless times before) and came straight back out screaming.
I knew immediately he was badly hurt.
We stayed calm, got back to the van, cleaned and dressed the wound, and wrapped his leg before his mum took him straight to the vets.
His mum later told me the vet was really impressed with the first aid I’d given. As a pet professional, that’s a compliment I’m incredibly proud of. 🥹
A huge thank you to for putting together such a brilliant first aid kit. Having the right equipment, alongside first aid training, meant I could deal with the situation quickly, calmly and confidently until Cosmo could get veterinary treatment. ❤️🩹
Emergencies don’t happen often, but when they do, being prepared can make all the difference.
We’re all wishing Cosmo a speedy recovery, and I’m sure he’ll be back to giving us his signature tippy-tappy toes in no time 🥹🖤
