First aid for your four-legged family member

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.

Help: First aid with attitude

Diet & Weight Loss, Reviews & Products

I have a medicine cabinet full of bandages adorned with princesses, fairies, and even a yellow sponge man that lives under the sea. These colorful characters help my kids feel better when they fall down and hurt themselves. Soon, their tears dry up and they wear their bandage with pride.

But what about when I get hurt? Don't I deserve a little pick me up when I cut my finger slicing veggies? Help Remedies, Inc. thinks that grown ups deserve a little extra attention too, so they've created their Help line of pain relievers and bandages. Their packages are so kind and funny that you'll forget about your bleeding thumb (or your headache, caused by your radical thoughts and making you deserving of a raise) before you know it.

Not only are these products funny, they're made with recycled paper pulp and can be composted. Help will also donate 5% of profits to charity.
