K9 First Aid Kit (Military Grade)

The K9 First Aid Field Trauma Kit provided by PPA is designed for use by Law Enforcement, Military, Fire, and Search & Rescue K9 Units. This kit contains specific supplies needed to treat the dog for injuries ranging from gunshot and knife wounds to snake bites.

The K9 Tactical First Aid Field Trauma Kit is the most complete and versatile professional K9 first aid kit available and is military grade. The kit’s versatility makes it the perfect choice for all working K9s.

K9 teams face substantial risks on a daily basis. These dogs have been punched, stabbed, poisoned and shot by fleeing suspects. Those who work in Search & Rescue, Tracking, Apprehension and Explosive Detection teams have an increased risk of injury due to extreme environmental conditions, poisoning, or explosion.

The K9 Tactical Field Kit is designed to enable handlers to provide lifesaving treatment to injured canines at the point of injury or when veterinary care is not immediately available.

This kit and its contents are compact, durable and allow reliable and versatile interventions wherever the need arises. The kit provides the necessary tools to address the major traumatic injuries common to K9’s operating in the military and law enforcement environment as well as common K9 emergencies such as bloat, heat injury, and toxic ingestion.

Offering a large central compartment and multiple attachment points, this kit maximizes storage space while maintaining a compact and light-weight profile at only 5lbs fully packed.

The ONLY K9 First Aid kit that is sand & water-resistant. Made with self-repairing zippers and silent 550 cord pulls. The MOLLE style webbing and Infrared Signature Reduction make this kit the superior solution whether on daily patrol, tactical missions, explosives details, covert operations, or extended search and tracking purposes.

The Tactical kit bag is constructed of rugged 500D Cordura. The kit can be slung over the shoulder in bandolier fashion, hand-carried, or worn around the waist as a belly-bag. The trauma kit can also be attached to the K9 ballistic vests and K9 cooling vests provided by PPA. The “open and grab” design of this kit enables handlers to quickly see the entire contents of the bag when opened. The bag has sections and elastic straps to keep everything in its place. This eliminates the need to dig around looking for items as with other kits that are too deep or are of duffle bag/handle bag style.
Every second is vital when dealing with critical injuries.

k9-2While emergency care is readily available to the police officer, the same cannot be said of the their canine partner. Training officers to administer first aid to their injured canine partner is only part of the solution, equipping them with a K9 first aid field trauma kit for use in the field can make a huge difference. In addition, everything in the K9 First Aid Field Trauma Kit can also be used on the human handler providing an additional layer of emergency trauma care available on-scene.

Equipping their human partner for emergency trauma care could save the life of the K9. Distribution of these kits will give the officer the means to do just that. The kit also contains a quick-reference field guide and video training tutorials on how to use the contents. In addition, Project Paws Alive works with every receiving agency to ensure they are properly trained by a veterinarian on how to use each item contained in the kit.

Over 92% of agencies nationwide do not have the budget to obtain this equipment. Some agencies are prohibited from purchasing equipment that is “not for human use”.

Many agencies leave the burden of purchasing K9 equipment with the handler.

These K9 First Aid Field Trauma kits are the best available and are $435.99 per unit. However, this cost is nothing compared to the loss of a K9’s life.
