First aid for your four-legged family member

Categories: Healthy Home, Diet & Weight Loss


Just like people, pets get hurt. And just like people, Murphy's Law dictates that they're going to need medical attention the minute your veterinarian closes for the weekend. If your Fido or Kitty Kitty needs some minor first aid, you may be able to help them out at home. For more severe injuries, being prepared might mean the difference between life and death for your pet, until you can reach the vet.

CBS News has tips for creating a first aid kit for your pet and tips to help you in the event of an injury, bee sting, or heat exhaustion. I'm an animal lover, so I know how pets can quickly become part of the family. Protect yours by keeping them safe and out of the heat this summer, and by being prepared if something does go wrong.
