Collection: Pet Emergency Kits

Your emergency plan isn't finished until it covers the ones who can't pack for themselves. Our pet emergency kits and dog first aid kits make sure dogs, cats and smaller members of the household are sorted for power cuts, evacuations, long journeys and muddy-field mishaps.

What goes in a pet emergency kit?

Three days of food and water, bowls, a spare lead and collar with ID, any medications, a blanket that smells of home, waste bags, and a photo of your pet with you (the fastest proof of ownership if you're separated). Dog walkers: a compact first aid kit in the car or walking bag handles cut pads and grass-seed drama on the spot.

Part of the household plan

Store the pet kit with your main family emergency kit so nothing gets left behind in a hurry, and add a note to your car kit if your dog travels with you often.

Pet kit FAQs

What should be in a dog first aid kit?

Self-adhesive bandage wrap, sterile dressings, saline pods for eyes and wounds, tick remover, blunt-end scissors, gloves and a foil blanket. It's for stabilising on the spot — your vet is still the destination.

How much water should I store for a pet?

Roughly 30–60ml per kilo of body weight per day — around 1–2 litres a day for a medium dog. Store three days' worth alongside your own water.

Can I use human first aid supplies on pets?

Dressings and saline, yes. Human medications, no — common painkillers like paracetamol and ibuprofen are toxic to dogs and cats. Always check with a vet.

What about cats, rabbits and small pets?

Same principle: food, water, carrier, familiar-smelling bedding and any meds, stored where you can grab them in one trip.
