Scissors to cut bandages or trim fur around a wound. 4. Tweezers to remove splinters or ticks. 5. Hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting (only under veterinary guidance). 6. Digital thermometer to monitor your dog's temperature. 7. Styptic powder to stop bleeding from minor cuts. 8. Muzzle to prevent your dog from biting if they are in pain. 9. Emergency contact numbers for your veterinarian, nearest animal emergency clinic, and poison control. Remember to regularly check and replenish the supplies in your dog's first aid kit.
