DIY Pet First Aid Kit


So I was reading an article a couple months ago about having a first aid kit for your animals, and I thought "that's a really good idea".  I had a ton of odd and end stuff around that all belong to the kiddos and no place in particular that I store them.  So yesterday I finally got around to picking them up a bin and some red duct tape, and this morning put together our very own Pet First Aid Kit!


This is the spread sheet that I created and stuck in the top of our first aid kit:
