Hi there. Im taking my first overnight with my dog Jack. We are actually hiking for 3 nights in Door County Wisconsin along the lake. Dogs are allowed on that trail, so I've done homework that way. I do have a tent.
He is a greyhound weimaraner mix. He is in great shape and athletic. Im putting together my first aid kit and wonder what else I might be missing for the doggie first aid kit.
I have:
wraps
bandages
tweezers
styptic powder
doggie pain meds
med tape
antibiotic ointment
What else might I need for the doggie first aid kit that would not be in mine?
What other general advice do you have? He will have his own sleep mat and fleece pocket to sleep in.
He wears dog packs and will carry his own food. We have day hiked with the packs.
He will have a fleece coat for chilly nights.
He is up to date on all vaccines. Has heart worm tabs and Frontline Plus.
So, Im just wanting to make sure Im not forgetting or missing anything. Porcupines are a possibility and I do have a multi tool for pulling quills if necessary. He will be leased when we hike just for safety sake, so Im hoping not to have any run ins with anything of that nature. Jack is so very excited, as am I. He is my bestie and this adventure is going to be one for the books.
