PDSA advises a kit for small injuries and prompt veterinary follow-up. Compare documented contents against PDSA: bandages and dressings, wound wash, blunt scissors, tape, gloves, tweezers and tick tweezers, foil blanket and relevant supporting supplies. Keep a suitable transport blanket separately. Unsupervised bandaging can harm circulation. This is equipment readiness, not permission to treat an injury without veterinary advice.
