What to Pack in a Hunting Dog First Aid Kit
New Philadelphia, Ohio – (May 27, 2010) Experienced game and waterfowl hunters know the importance of having a first aid kit ready for their dogs in case of accidents or emergencies. When they’re in hot pursuit of their quarry, dogs can scramble through brambles, fly through barbed wire and rush through dense brush, sustaining a variety of scratches and scrapes. They’re also prone to skin irritations from insect bites and prickly plants.
To prepare for the inevitable, one new item to consider packing in your hunting buddy’s first aid kit is Anti-Lick Strip Prevent®. These unique pet adhesive bandages are made with natural ingredients — including cayenne pepper, lemon powder, clove oil and oregano. This exclusive blend deters pets from licking, biting and chewing surgical sites, minor wounds, cuts and abrasions as well as helping to alleviate issues stemming from separation anxiety, boredom or other behavioral issues.

They can either be used as a therapeutic bandage or applied at the earliest sign of a problem, eliminating a pet's drive to lick, bite and scratch before skin irritations can occur. Anti-Lick Strip bandages are constructed with a peel and stick adhesive that lasts up to five days – even when your dog is tracking prey across muddy terrain or lying low in a marshy duck blind.
Though a first aid kit should never replace proper veterinary care, some simple remedies and devices can prevent a situation from going from bad to worse until professional help can be obtained. A basic kit should include:
· Waterproof container that opens and closes easily but securely to hold first aid items.
· Pet bandages, such as Nurtured Pets’ Anti-Lick Strip Prevent, gauze pads and cotton gauze in
case of cuts, scrapes or bites.
· Hydrogen peroxide and anti-bacterial ointment to clean wounds.
· Scissors and tweezers for cutting adhesive tape, removing splinters, etc.
· Eyedroppers for dispensing liquid medication or for cleaning wounds.
· Phone numbers for your pet’s regular veterinarian and any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
(When traveling, include numbers for animal hospitals in destination area.)
· Hot/cold pack for soothing injuries and reducing related swelling.
· Super glue to temporarily close ear splits caused by briars or barbed wire.
Zip Lock® bags with duct tape to cover and protect injured paws.
Anti-Lick Strip Protect bandages are available in small, medium and large sizes, and come in a (6) Six Pack or (2) Two Pack. Look for them at PetSmart and other fine pet specialty stores.
