About Dog First Aid Supplies
Dogs do have a tendency of getting themselves into scrapes. Whether chasing cats into bushes or going exploring in the undergrowth, they will often put themselves in areas where they could get hurt. Cuts, scratches, wound abrasions, bites and even sunburn are not uncommon for dogs. With this in mind, it is wise to keep a first aid kit handy for when they do manage to pick up an injury.
A lot of animals tend to lick their wounds when injured. Generally speaking, this is a good thing, as their saliva contains a mild antiseptic that helps wounds to heal. It can be problematic when a stronger remedy is needed, though. In many cases, a pet is likely to lick the antiseptic as they lick their wounds, and this could cause complications. Treatments for pets such as dogs need to be harmless when ingested, and also resistant to being licked clean away.
Some areas of a dog’s skin, such as the paws, can become too dry. If not treated, this can cause the skin to crack and infections can take hold. Dermatological creams can moisturise the skin to help prevent cracking or other complications from arising. They can also help to alleviate discomfort from other skin conditions. Preventing sunburn will help to protect your animal's skin, and it is highly recommend using a pet sunscreen when taking your dog to the beach or outside in summer.
