Every pet parent's worst fear is having something bad happen to their beloved friend. One very helpful tool in case of an emergency is having your own first aid kit designed for your cat org. This doesn't replace a trip to the ER, but it can prevent the injury from getting worse until you get there. You never know what could happen on hikes, swims, or even in your own home.

*** It is also important to note that unless instructed by a doctor, you should never wrap or bandage your pet for very long. Swelling, infection, or serious damage can occur if a bandage is not placed properly. ***
