First aid kit that should be available for every dog: which medications will be needed for your pet.

Tips from a veterinarian.

Dogs need protection against insects that carry dangerous diseases, including babesiosis. Veterinarians have provided information on this.

To protect your pet from ectoparasites such as ticks, it is necessary to purchase acaricidal products such as tablets, spot-on treatments, or sprays for external use. The protective effect of these products develops within 24-48 hours, so it is important to prepare your pet in advance before traveling.

Experts note that there is no hundred percent protection against insects, so it is important to thoroughly inspect your pet’s fur and skin daily (especially around the face, neck, behind the ears, and in the armpit area) and carefully remove any ticks found immediately.

Veterinarians recommend having a first aid kit for your pet.

Make sure to assemble it before going to the countryside. Take antiseptics such as chlorhexidine or miramistin, as well as bandages or gauze. Enterosorbents (in case of diarrhea or poisoning), pain relievers, and antihistamines prescribed by a professional are also necessary for allergic reactions, such as bee stings. A cold pack can also be a useful addition to the first aid kit and can be used for initial treatment in case of injuries.
