Injuries

Learn simple first aid for small injuries

What do you do when your pup steps on something sharp and cuts a pad? Limps after a fall? Eats something that is definitely NOT edible?

How do you know whether you can treat your dog's injury at home or it's serious enough to make a trip to the vet? And can you make that appointment for two days from now or is it an emergency?

Once you've determined that your dog does not need immediate veterinary care, you can treat small cuts and bumps at home if you know a few first aid procedures and have the right products on hand.

We'll show you how!
