A specialized first aid kit from the American Kennel Club makes
a practical gift for pets and their owners, and only costs $24.99.

Do your dogs get into a lot of mischief? Mine do, even when they aren't trying. 

In addition to a couple of visits to the emergency hospital, we've had our share of cuts and scrapes.

We always manage to get them patched up and a quick recovery is made. However, it would all be much easier if we had the proper supplies on hand in one central location.

The American Kennel Club sells an affordable first aid kit that can be stored at home or in the car. Dog.com is one of the places you can order your 50-piece kit. I suppose you could also build one of your own if you have the inclination. 

Obviously you don't have to have an AKC-registered pure bred for these supplies to come to your dog's (or cat's) aid.
