Nitrile Gloves & Bandages for First Aid

For your first aid needs at home or when you travel, its always better to be prepared. If you have dog or cat at home, its a pretty safe assumption you have a favourite streetie … somewhere down the road near home or work.
Its also a pretty safe assumption that their scrapes and bruises are attended to by you. Gloves and bandages are an essential component of any first aid kit. Bandages are a great first defence for open wounds. They give you the time to stem bleeding, or keep them covered,  until you get to a treatment facility or veterinarian.

Gloves, another first defence essential. Why? because if you have pets at home and you are dealing with streeties, you never know what infections or illnesses they carry. That does not mean you shy away from helping or caring for them, it simply means you take common sense steps to keep everyone involved safe.

Nitrile gloves are made from synthetic rubber and are an ideal alternative for people with latex allergies. These gloves are durable and “puncture resistant”. These gloves are not sterile, but are medical grade. They work for first aid kits, pet grooming salons, pet camps, vets offices and pet bakers.
