These are the things we have in our first aid kit. Some of the things are particular to some of the dogs, like the Gold Bond's powder, will stop the itch on the poodles face and feet if irritated after a shave. I add Electrolyte powder to all my dogs water after they show (or after hiking or extreme heat)... GSD's, Poodles and Sharpeis alike. My old girl (a 13 y/o schnoodle) needs ace when there are thunderstorms. All RX's come from my vet, and all vet info is on the bottle. Actually, my vets helped me designed this kit. My First Aid kit goes with us to all dog shows, grooming shows and any time the dogs are in the car on our trips. If my daughters take one of the dogs on their camping trips, they take a modified version of this kit. They are vet techs and know how to use everything in the kit.
