In an emergency

Moving the dog to safety
If your puppy or dog is involved in a traffic accident you should act quickly. If necessary, remove your pet from immediate danger by gently placing a sheet underneath it and lifting it to a safe place. Contact your vet immediately and find out whether you should visit the clinic or wait for the to come to the scene of the accident.

First aid
Check for the dog’s pulse on the inside of its thigh. If the dog is having trouble breathing open its mouth and bring the tongue forward to check the airway is clear. If a wound is bleeding heavily, hold a clean cloth pad over it to stop the flow of  blood. Keep the dog  warm with blankets in case it goes into shock. A dog in shock or a lot of  pain could bite without warning so you may have to muzzle your pet by tying a strip of cloth around its jaws.

Emergency first aid kit
This should contain essential items like tweezers, safe disinfectant, eye wash, antiseptic cream, adhesive dressing, and cotton batting.
