Building a Dog-Safe Medicine Cabinet at Home

Want to be prepared for minor pet emergencies? A dog-specific medicine cabinet is a must. Here’s how to stock one with safe, vet-recommended supplies.

What to Include:

• Benadryl (Diphenhydramine): For mild allergic reactions

• Hydrogen Peroxide (3%): Only for vet-directed vomiting

• Digital Thermometer: For checking your dog’s temperature

• Styptic Powder: To stop minor bleeding (like nail trims)

• Plain Canned Pumpkin: For tummy troubles

• Vet-Approved Pain Relief (if prescribed)

• Dosage Chart: Based on your dog’s weight

• Vet Contact Info: Keep it taped inside the kit

With the right supplies on hand, you can take quick, informed action in non-emergency situations.
