View Summary \| Submitted: 2008-05-23 \| Word Count: 418 words

Owning Boxer dogs, or any other dog breeds, requires a lot of responsibilities, patience and love. The moment you decided to take home a new puppy means that you are well aware of the responsibilities intertwined to a dog owner. But knowing the responsibilities alone is not enough in order for you to become a responsible and good dog owner. You must adhere to these responsibilities not just for your own glory as good dog owner but more importantly for the sake of your beloved pet. While you are doing all you can to keep your pet healthy and happy by feeding well-balanced diet, giving required exercise and regular grooming, may you not forget that responsibility doesn't end there. Accidents or emergencies happen anytime whether you want it or not, whether you are ready for it or not. Since you cannot stop an emergency nor predict when will it happen, you just have to arm yourself with first aid ideas that could make a difference between life and death of your dog.

Keep a first aid safety kit on hand. The kit must be a waterproof container with label containing the phone numbers of your vet, the nearest animal emergency hospital, emergency hotlines and poison control hotlines as well as your name and contact information. Include also a list of your emergency contact person's numbers, your dog's name, age, sex, breed and any health problems, a copy of your pet's vaccination records as well as photo of your pet in case needed.

First aid kit for dogs must include supplies such as roll cotton, cotton balls, gauze pads and tape, hydrogen peroxide, hydrocortisone ointment, scissors, eyewash, silver nitrate, tweezers, oral syringes, electrolyte fluid, at least two towels, exam gloves, elastic wrap, emergency ice pack, thermometer, rubbing alcohol, styptic powder, aspirin and plastic baggies. When traveling, it is important to have bottled water, food/water bowl, spare leash, crate and muzzle.

If someone is taking care of your pet while you are away, be sure to discuss your pet with them. Show them where you keep the first aid kit and vet records and discuss about your vet and his contact info, the emergency animal hospital info, how to contact you and the name and contact info of a relative or friend you trust to make decisions if you are unavailable.

You may not know when, where or in what way emergency will occur but by having first aid kit and knowing what to do in case of emergency, you know you are ready.

The Key To A Well-Behaved Dog Is To Become A Role Model Yourself
