Why do I need a Pet First Aid Kit?
9 out of 10 owners don't know basic pet first aid skills, new research from the PDSA has found.
According to the pet charity 75% of those surveyed wouldn't know how to perform CPR on their pet. 74% would be unsure what to do if their pet was having a seizure, and 52% would feel clueless if their dog or cat broke a bone.
In addition to this, 80% of owners admitting to not owning a first aid kit.
The research highlights just how many owners feel unequipped to deal with animal-related medical emergencies, such as seizures, heatstrokes or a road traffic accident.
As with humans, taking the right actions in the first few minutes following an emergency before seeking veterinary attention can make a huge difference on the outcome of the situation. The good news is that while it may seem like a big task, there are practical tips that owners can learn, which will help them treat and potentially save the lives of their pets.
