You should be!
Currently, while you guys are watching this video were actually camping
with the dogs! Were actually camping with... One (1), two (2), three (3), four (4), five (5)...
Six (6)... Seven (7) dogs!
If you wanna see a bunch of that adventure, you should check out YouTube.com/SnowDogsVlogs
and also, go down in the video description below and check out all of our social media sites.
Hopefully will have enough internet to be able to at least post photos, Twitters... Twitters?
Tweets, Instagrams, Snapchats, all of these fun things while were camping!
So today, instead of doing a typical Fan Friday, I'm actually gonna answer questions
that a lot of you had asked in the past. We've never actually done a full video on it.
Today were going to show you, what we keep in our doggie first aid kit.
The reason I put together a new doggie first aid kit.
I thought I would share with you guys what we put in our doggie first aid kit.
First thing we have! We go camping a lot, so this is extremely important.
This is called the 'Tick Twister!' It have some instructions on the back.
I actually got this at my vet's office and is use for removing ticks from your pets
if they get them. We hope... You can remove them from yourself too.
We hope that we never get them. But, in case we do this is one of the easiest and
safest way to remove ticks from your pets.
So, we have the 'Tick Twister!'
Next thing we have, we actually have an eye and ear dropper.
This can be used for a lot of different things, including like
if you need to get a little bit of medicine onto a cut, like you can actually suck it up
from the eye dropper. You can use it for... using eye medicine,
I have eye medicine as well. But, is always a good thing to have it, just in case you need it.
You never know! You may need it!
Nail clippers! Doggie nail clippers! These are good in case
they crack a nail or break a nail. Or if you just need to clip their nails while you are camping.
Always have doggie nail clippers!
Tweezers! These are brand new and haven't even open em yet. You never know when, you are gonna need em.
You might need em to pull things out of their feet or pull burps out of their fur
You can use tweezers to get, like little poking things out of them.
You never known, when you are gonna need them and yes!
A lot of this stuff in the first aid kit, can also be used for people.
Hydrogen peroxide. Now, before you even ever use something like this,
talk to your vet and ask them, how to correctly use it.
This can be used, if your dog ingest something that they shouldn't have.
You can actually use peroxide, to make them vomit quickly. So... Say you are at the campground
and somebody leaves a 'Hershey's' bar out, because you are eating smores and your dog decides
to eat the rest of the 'Hershey's' bar, which could considerably be a lot of chocolate for one dog depending on their size.
This, can help them to throw it back up. Which means, it won't go through their body.
You always want to keep this around and keep handy, but again contact your vet before...
before you go camping, so you know how to use it correctly.
Another good thing to have, that I don't actually have on my box.
I have it on my camper, is a copy of all your dogs health records, their vaccinations certificates,
any current medications that they are on when you go, whenever you go somewhere.
Make sure you know all those things and wherever you end up going to travel,
if you are taking your kit traveling, have the local vet's phone numbers in your kit.
Those are other good things, I have over my camper.
Antiseptic spray! They cut themselves or step on something? This just helps if
you can put it on like minor cuts and scrapes. It's supposed to help..
to stop like it being from aggravated and help like cool it off.
So... This is actually for dogs. I got this at 'Meijer'.
Ear cleaning pads, because just never known, when somebody's gonna decide
to dig like crazy and needs to have their ears clean out. You wanna make sure they don't
have anything crazy stucked in on a dirt down. Ear cleaning pads are always a good idea.
Allergy relief. Again, another product, make sure you talk to your vet
So, you know how to give this to your dog properly, before you end up actually
having to give it to your dog. But, this can be used if your dog is stung by a bee,
or they have something, were they start swelling and having an allergic reaction,
Benadryl can actually help take the swelling down.
Memphis and Shelby, had both been stung by bees before
and this is actually all we ended up giving them. The other thing, this can be used for
but, you don't always have to use for if, you have a dog with high anxiety
and you need to like, calm them down. Sometimes, the Benadryl will help
calm them down. Again, talk to your vet before giving this to your dogs.
Speaking of calming things, I actually keep calming chews in my kit.
Again, because this stays in my camper and I usually give these to the dogs for their stress and anxiety
and I usually, give them to the dogs when we leave, if the car ride is gonna be really long
like it's a six (6) hour car ride. I usually give it to em for the longer car rides.
More actually in... at camp, I don't really give it to em that often.
Cause they usually do pretty good at camp but is just kind of distresses them for the long ride.
Oakley is like, "I know what those are!"
Self adhering bandage wraps, because you never know, when you are gonna need it!
Instant cold packs, these are nice if one of your dogs gets hurt, falls, maybe has
you know, a hurt paw or hurt shoulder, is good to have instant cold packs.
Is also good to have heat pads as well, just in case. We actually have an electric blanket that we use.
Rolled gauze. You know, they can cut themselves! If they cut themselves you are gonna need gauzes.
You are gonna need the water proof tape to hold the gauze on.
You are hoping that these things never happen, but they can.
If you are a little further away from the vet, you'll be happy you have some of this stuff.
Another good idea is, to have a splint. In my camper, we actually
have a couple different pieces of wood, in case they break a leg and you need to hold
their legs straight. You can use the splint and you can wrap the tape around
so, that they're not try to move it. Again, hopefullly something you'll never need!
Cotton balls, cause if they cut themselves, you might need it!
Wound cream, if they get a minor wound, like a superficial wound, they just scrape something,
this wound cream is kind of like, Neosporin. Kind of like triple antibiotic ointment.
Actually, I have triple antibiotic ointment as well, but wound cream is another good thing to have.
A thermometer, so you can check your dogs temperature, cause you just never know when, you might need it.
This is actually a solar thermometer, so I never have to worry about batterys going dead,
which is really nice. Again, I haven't opened it! The other thing, you probably wanna have
because with the thermometer you do have to take the dogs temperature rectally with this type of thermometer.
Have some 'Vaseline Petroleum Jelly' in case you do have, to do that.
We have some! Is in our camper.
Styptic powder. I don't actually know how you say it. Styptic powder, stop bleeding powder.
You can buy it pretty much at any pet store. This is great if you cut their
nails too close, you can put this on theirs and will stop the bleeding inmediately.
Don't use it on large cuts. Again, talk to your vet so you can learn more how about
how to use this correctly. Don't use it on large cuts, but if they have a small cut
that just won't stop bleeding. This will help coagulate the blood and make it stop bleeding.
Mainly used on nails, when they cut the nails too close.
'Opticlear'. This is basically eye wash for dogs. If they get something in their eye
like they were to get dirt or something in their eyes, you can actually use this to flush
it out, or if they have like a scratch in their eyes, they got dirt in their eye and got
it out, but scratch their eye? This will help with the irritation on their eye.
Rounded tip scissors. See? Rounded tip scissors.
You can use them for like, cutting the bandages and stuff.
Or, if they have like sticky stuff stucked in the fur and you got to cut a chunk of their fur out,
don't think it won't happen, cause sap is sticky and can get in dogs fur and cause nuts.
This willl make it, so you can cut those out if you need to, without poking your dog.
I told you! I have triple antibiotic ointment!
We also keep a couple of wash cloths in here, just in case. You can use em for different things.
You can use em, if for some reason if they get caught and you need to. You can wrap these around their legs as well.
But, we keep em in their, just in case we need them.
A bag of small treats, very good thing to have, if your dog gets hurt
they make it upset and agitated and if you can positively reward them with food, you maybe thankfully
you have treats in your first aid kit.
We also have a little syringe, this is not a needle syringe.
This is for administering medicine if we need to, or maybe getting water or something that we need to.
Can be used to cleaning out wounds if they have a wound and is dirty, you can actually fill this with
a little bit of water and flush out the wound, if you need to.
Now the rest of the stuff in this kit is something that you guys also ask us about and this is the stuff we have
for emergency bloat cases.
The first thing I have, again talk to your vet before you use this.
Is called 'Phazyme.' I talked to a lot of people who have pets who had bloated
and this has been a life saver for many of them.
This relieves gas, so if your dog starts to bloat, you can give your dog... Again, talk to your vet.
Like for Oakley's size, we would have to give her two (2) and it would help break up the bubbles in their belly.
If their stomach is already twisted, this isn't gonna do anything, if you do end up giving these
to your dog, when you get to the vet, if your dog is bloating, make sure you tell your vet
that you gave these to your dog.
The last thing is what you guys ask the most about in the past week or so. Because of Oakley and her bloating.
This... Has been drooled down by Oakley, cause she thinks there is food in the box!
Is our bloat kit. I'm gonna open it up and show you what's in it.
Cause dogs now thinks is food, cause is plastic. This is actually our bloat kit.
We got it from this place, 'Para Vet' and we bought the deluxe bloat kit.
It comes with a book that actually gives you instructions on how to use everything in here.
Again, if you have a dog that's prone to bloat or has bloated before, talk to your vet!
They will explain to you, how to use this properly. This book will help as well.
The first thing it has, is a tube. If your dog is bloating, you have to get this tube
down in their stomach, to get the gas and the air out of their stomach.
To do that, you need a bite block. See how, this has a hole in it?
That's because, if you try to put this down your dog's throat, they are gonna bite on it and close it shot.
So, what you do is put the bite block in. Then, put the tube in and try to get it down the dog's throat,
which isn't easy, but can save your dog's life, if you need it to.
It also comes with an irrigation syringe. This, again so you can put medicine down in the tube, if you need to.
It comes with doggie enzymes probiotics. This is supposed, to help break air bubbles inside the dog.
It comes with bloat blaster, which is a lot like the facing pills I showed you guys.
It is supposed to take large pockets of gas and break them down.
So, that is what our bloat kit actually is. Hopefuly will never ever, have to use it.
But, we have seen it used before, when Oakley bloated when we were on 'Drummond Island.'
That's exactly what the vet there used. He putted the bite block on Oakley's mouth, put the tube down her throat.
The vaseline, you put a little bit of vaseline or something on the end, to make it slide a little bit easier, like lubrication.
And he put it down in her throat. Jamie held her front end along with the vet.
I held her back in and I lifted up and the air came out the tube, which...
The last time, when that happened, that was last year. We believe that actually saved her life.
If we weren't able to get the air out of her, she was over and hour (1) and fifteen (15) minutes to the emergency vet.
So... Being able to know, how to use this in an emergency situation, if you are far away from an
emergency vet, it really could save your dog's life.
Alright you guys! Well, there you go. That is what we have
in our personal first aid kit for the dogs. Again, I have other things in the camper
as well, but that's the basic doggie first aid kit. You can buy pre-maded
first aid kits, already made but, I kind of like to have my own, because I know what's in it
and I know, what I bought and I know, what we have.
We hope you guys enjoyed this video. Sorry is a bit different from 'Fan Friday.'
