Keeping pet safety on hand

We all love our furry friends and with that comes an importance for keeping them safe. Lidia Vesterfelt from Michigan Humane, joined “Live in the D” to give tips on making your own first aid kit for pets.

“They’re very similar to a human’s first aid kit. Just some different things for your pets. Specifically for dogs, bringing along food and water, then extra leashes, harnesses, and muzzles.” said Vesterfelt.

Other supplies for your first aid kit could include:

- Gloves and tweezers

- Benadryl and bandage wraps

- Towels

It is recommended to keep this kit in an accessible spot. To see the Pet of the Week and learn more tips, click the video above.
