    I have my 2 dogs run vests when we are out hiking or training outdoors. The idea behind this is: 1. If we get separated and someone finds one of my dogs injured, they can provide first aid. 2. If I forget my outdoors medkit, and they happen to get injured, I have everything needed already attached to them for most injuries.

    Each kit includes:

    2x Large non stick, absorbent pads
    3X Small OEM packs of neosporin
    1x Full roll (15 ft) of ‘no chew’ vet wrap
    1x Roll of gauze
    6x Gauze pads
    1x Bottle of saline eye wash
    4x Packs of iodine wipe pads
    1x Pair of medical gloves (venom steel brand)
    2x OEM sealed #15 surgical razor blades
    1x Pack of CELOX hemostatic powder
    1x Pair of mosquito hemostats

    All packaged in the vacuum sealed bag it weighs in as 3.5oz. Measures in at 4 inches wide, 4 inches tall and just under 1 inch thick. The MOLLE pouch also has a 4-foot soft leash (made from 6mm climbing rope), that can be used to guide the dog as well as a make-shift muzzle if needed.

    From the list you can see there is everything there to handle fishing hooks/thorns to deep punctures/cuts that require wound packing. The idea with this is to be able to treat minor issues on the trail, so we can keep on going, or stabilize a more major injury (so he isn’t bleeding out) while I carry him out and off to the vet.
