TL;DR: Save 19% on a pet first aid kit ($19.99) with supplies for on-the-go emergencies such as allergic reactions.
We were enjoying a beautiful day on the trail when disaster struck. Cooper’s always been a curious pup, but I couldn’t react fast enough to stop him from biting at that bee. The end of his nose started swelling faster than a balloon.
Thankfully, I packed My Medic’s first-aid kit for pets — and you can get it on sale right now for only $19.99.
What happened next
Cooper started freaking out. I don’t blame him; I know how much a bee sting hurts. And that explains why he ran into a tree and cut the side of his nose, too. Thankfully, I had plenty of supplies with me.
I started with the bee sting. The emergency kit has Benadryl for allergic reactions and situations like this, so I gave him one and hoped it would help with the swelling (it did).
Then, I slipped on the gloves and cleaned up his poor face with the wound wash. The cut wasn’t too deep, so I cleaned it up with the antiseptic towelettes and bandaged it up the best I could with the gauze.
The reason I knew what to do in this situation? This kit came with a first aid-guide for pets. Not to brag, but I feel a little something like a vet in training now. And I’m relieved that Cooper didn’t have to suffer until we got back home.
