First aid for dogs is similar to first aid for humans. Remember you ABCs airway, breating, conciousness. After those have been taken care off use pressure to stop any bleeding and keep warm to prevent shock.

First aid for a dog is a lot like humans. Wounds need to be cleaned and covered so dirt can't get in to aggravate it. Certain wounds may need to be kept away from the dog (with a cone) so they can't harm it.

First aid for dogs is very similar to the types of treatments you would use in humans. You can purchase prepackaged doggie first aid kits that come with supplies as well as a summary of how and when to administer the supplies. I would also suggest picking up a canine first aid book for a more in depth knowledge.

First aid for your dog is similar to first for human. First try to clean the wounds using some sponge and hot water, so that bacteria's don't spread in wound. Then, consult your nearest veterinary doctor, he will solve the problem.

It's best to keep a doggie first aid kit around just in case Fido gets injured. Put things like Vet-Wrap, salve, and peroxide in there. Most of the time if your dog gets badly injured you won't need the kit. You will just end up going to the Vet as soon as you can get him in.

If you live in a warm climate keeping your dog cool and well hydrated is often all that is needed to remedy unusual symptoms.

If you have a dog you should always have gauze, hydrogeni proxide around for first aid. Also, an extra thermometer that you don't want to use anymore. and some pedialite.
