Glovebox Kit

Description

Inspired by the first aid kits provided in work trucks at remote forestry worksites, the Glovebox Kit is designed to withstand the rigours of backcountry adventures or a season in the bush. The first aid supplies are organized in injury-specific compartments and offer solutions to an array of potential injuries and illnesses.

Included: multifunctional cleaning solutions,  ample bandaging, instruments, responder safety, wellness supplies and more! Over 100 items included, with room for the addition of extra items of your choosing. All products are high quality and are carefully selected with your beloved four-legged companion in mind.

Your pet’s safety is our priority – the Glovebox Kit provides the essential supplies needed to respond safely to an injured animal until qualified veterinarian help is accessed.

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO ADD A MUZZLE TO YOUR FIRST AID KIT THAT HAS BEEN PROPERLY FITTED TO YOUR DOG. ANY DOG HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BITE DURING STRESSFUL SITUATIONS, OR WHEN IN PAIN/FEAR. MUZZLING ENSURES YOUR SAFETY. DO NOT MUZZLE DOGS THAT ARE UNCONSIOUS, REPEATEDLY VOMITING OR THAT HAVE SUSTAINED SKULL/JAW INJURIES. DO NOT LEAVE A MUZZLED DOG UNATTENDED.
