    D-FAK

    How 'bout a try at a communal D-FAK project for a bug-out type event? What might a combat K9 handler carry in theater?

    I've got a good amount of First Aid stuff I've been acquiring for the dogs, but I really do need to get it compiled properly. Good thing most items in my IFAK/FAK are common to man & beast - so not everything will be duplicated (or should it?). However, I wanted a dog dedicated kit. Not sure of the size yet or short term vs. long term situation. (I plan to Bug In and hold fast, but...)

    For my use I'd have to plan for a larger number of dogs than the one dog household. My W.A.G. would be to place this in one of my dog's back packs which would maybe take up 1/2 of 1 side - mostly bulk vs. weight.

    So far off the top of my head and rummaging through my med. Rubbermade box I've got or want:

    (1) Nail clippers (dog type - for torn/split nails)
    (1) Stiptic Powder (not the stick version, I use Remington brand)
    (6) Deramaxx/Rimadyl (dog pain meds)
    (6) Panacur Powder (broad spectrum paracitiside - i.e waterborne)
    (1) Razor (cut down handle)
    (2) Frontline (flea/tick)
    (1) 4" OLAES Bandage
    (1) 6" OLAES Bandage
    (1) ACE Elastic Bandage Wrap
    (2) Gauze Rolls
    (6) 4"x4" Guaze Pads
    (1) Provodone/Iodine Solution (transferred to small travel squeeze/spray bottle)
    (12) Anti-histamine pills
    (1) Triple Anti-biotic lotion (small bottle)
    (2) Dog Booties, Large (for protecting bandaged paw)
    (2) Dog Booties, Sm/Med.
    (8') Duct Tape (wrapped around gift card)
    (1) H20 Purification Tabs (bottle)
    (1) Small fabric collapsible H20 bowl
    (2) Quik Clot

    Edit: Adding VooDoo6Actual's good advice ("Your Canine FAT kit looks pretty good. Superglue, Tampons, Hydrogen peroxide, Electrolytes are all that I have different in mine basically"

    (1) Superglue
    (3) Tampons (damn bitches, I kid, I kid - get it?)
    (1) Hydrogen peroxide (I'll swap for Provodine/Iodine solution?)
    (6) Electrolytes (powder?)

    What did I miss? What might I be able to leave out?
