First Aid Essentials – Being Prepared
This information has been kindly provided by Robinson Animal Healthcare


In order for first aid to be successful, you need to be prepared. However, an emergency first aid kit needs to be light and easily portable so that it can be transported easily. It may be beneficial to keep this separate to other first aid items so it can be easily retrieved. A typical emergency first aid kit should contain:

Animalintex [the only licenced poultice and wound dressing treatment in the UK]
Gamgee
Cold pack
Low adherent and absorbent dressing
Cohesive dressing
Elastic adhesive bandage
Wound Hydrogel
Thermometer
Scissors

You may wish to keep multiples of these items in a separate box / container for further dressings, and / or minor wounds.

You may also wish to include an Anti - bacterial Wash, Hoof shaped Animalintex and Cotton Wool in order to have a comprehensive First Aid Kit.
