Cat and Dog First AidPreparing For a Pet Emergency Could you respond if your pet had an injury or became ill? Knowledge of cat and dog first aid and CPR is a vital part of your pet's care. Courses specific to pet first aid and pet CPR are available through your local Red Cross. After living with a dog who has a heart condition, I highly recommend taking one of these courses for all pet owners.Be Prepared at home: Assemble a Pet First Aid KitPet first aid kits can be purchased as a unit through the Red Cross and other retailers, or can simply be assembled at home. It's a good idea to carry a mini-version when you travel as well.So what makes up a basic pet first aid kit? First you need a easy storage container to hold all of your pet first aid kit  items. Keep it in a place that the entire family can get to easily. Label your container, "Pet First Aid".
 Highly recommended - Purchase a good reference guide for pet first aid and pet CPR to keep on hand in an emergency. Ask your veterinarian for a recommendation or check on-line and at your local bookstores. Next: What about Pet CPR?
