Dog & Cat First Aid Kit - Emergency Pet Care Supplies for Dogs & Cats | Essential for Home, Travel & Outdoor Adventures

Amy D Shojai with the help of over 80 Veterinarians has wrote an excellent 439 page book to help the reader save his/her cat or dog when over 150 emergencies/ accidents have taken place. There are some basic illustrations too. Plus she does tell when to take the animal to the vet immediately or during the day.She lists an essential medicine chest to have to treat your dog or cat. Many of the medicines she lists are human medicines in reduced strength. Plus meds never to give especially to cats. I liked the easy at a glance symptom finder to use. There are areas on how to prevent accidents. There are some basic illustrations with clinically proven techniques.I just killed a prairie rattle snake in our driveway at our ranch in OK. A neighbor had come over and said about a week ago a rattle snake bit her puppy in the face and the dog eventually died. At least I have a book that describes what to do if one of our dogs gets bit by a rattlesnake before taking the dog to the Vet.Also I have seen Black Widow spiders. There is a section on insect bites too.The book has a chapter what to do if a dog or cat is accidentally shot plus what to do if the dog or cat gets poisoned... maybe eating a poisonous plant, antifreeze or lots of chocolate. Many more chapters on a wide array of emergencies that could happen to your cat or dog and what you can do and sometimes to take the stricken animal immediately to the Vets.Five stars for a great first aid book on cats and dogs at the right technical level for all family members ( INMO age fifteen and up) to use. INMO get this book first for quick information and techniques for your emergency first aid on dogs and cats, then latter a more detailed book you can read deeper about the subject you are interested in after the danger to the animal has past.I liked that this book is not super technical. Any member of our family can use it to save one of our cats or dogs. You don't have to have vast medical experience to use it. This was the right technical level for us.I have another book three times as big with detail descriptions of internal organs and detailed medical information. It was written for operating Veterinarians. In an emergency you may not have time to wade through technical analysis. Maybe after the emergency is over more time can be used on a more detailed book.
