Call your Veterinarian or nearest Emergency Animal Hospital. If you are not near a veterinary hospital, or you have no phone access, get the field guide book from your emergency first aid kit.

The Emergency Pocket Field Guide in the inside pocket of your kit will walk you through numerous emergency situation that arises with your dog. It covers everything from toxin ingestion to how to stop bleeding to providing you with the two pet poison control phone numbers, in case you need to call them, but have no internet access.

If your dog has ingested a toxin, you have a short window of about 1 to 2 hours to induce vomiting and expel the toxin. Always call your veterinarian if you think your dog has ingested something harmful.

Watch this video to learn how to properly induce vomiting in your dog with Hydrogen Peroxide 3% --- it should ONLY be 3%.

For minor wounds or to stop bleeding until you can get to a veterinarian, watch this video for simple instructions on how to wrap your dog's paw.

Be sure that bandages are NEVER applied too tightly, and never leave them on for too long. Bandages that are too tight can cut off blood circulation or make toes rub together, and cause further injury.

They should stay DRY, if you notice a malodorous smell, after being bandaged for a couple of days, REMOVE the bandage and see your veterinarian immediately.
