Let's face it; in many homes around the world, the family pet is just that – part of the family. There is nothing that loving pet owners would not do to ensure the longevity and vitality of their pet. So it’s unsurprising that pet owners are well versed in first aid for pets. Knowing what to do in order to temporarily treat injuries or react in an emergency can significantly impact the health of your pet.
Because most pets are similar to children in their natural curiosity, they can sometimes get in over their heads resulting in injury. Just as we prepare for minor injuries and serious emergencies when it comes to our children, so too must we make similar preparations for our pets.
Much of what we would include in a first aid kit for the human members of our household can also be included in a first aid for pets kit. Gauze, scissors, tape, alcohol or other antiseptic with which to clean a wound, antibacterial cream, and tweezers are all important items to include when administering first aid for pets.
Keep in mind that an animal who is in pain will often snap at you in an effort to keep you away from its wound. Use extreme caution when approaching your injured pet. Regardless of your warm and loving relationship, your pet may surprise you. This is simply an instinctual reaction. You may want to keep a muzzle handy should you ever need to administer emergency first aid for pets to a growling or biting animal.
First and foremost, keep in mind that first aid for pets is only a first line in defense against injuries. A veterinarian should always be consulted when dealing with an injury. You can certainly treat minor injuries at home but always give a call to your vet to make sure your pet does not need to be seen.
Of course, in the event of an emergency, administer what lifesaving first aid that you can and get to an animal hospital immediately. Keep the numbers of your veterinarian and your local animal hospital posted in clear sight.
For more information about preparing appropriate first aid for pets, your veterinarian can be enormously helpful. Ask him/her what to keep on hand in the event of an emergency. The short amount of time that it takes to gather such necessary items will be well worth the effort should you ever need to administer first aid for pets.

Many individuals and families explore options of pet ownership. Deciding what pet best suits your lifestyle can be a big decision. Questions that, once answered, may help you decide what pet choice would be best for you and the pet include:
How often does the pet need attention relating to feeding the pet and/or making sure its other needs are being met? Are you at home often enough to meet those needs?
If you travel, what would be involved with having the pet cared for? Do you need to board the pet? If so, how much might that cost? Can someone stop by occasionally to look in on the pet? Is that realistic? Can the pet travel with you?
What size of a pet would work out best in your living environment? Would a smaller pet be more reasonable, or would a larger pet fit in equally well, if not better!
Is anyone in the household prone to allergies? Should that be checked out prior to obtaining a pet?
How much will it cost to maintain the pet? What might projected food costs be? What other expenses might you anticipate with your pet?
What about health care? What expenses are predictable relating to immunizations and neutering, if necessary?
Are noise levels of the pet an issue? Will the pet have the potential to disturb neighbors?
Does the pet require a cage or additional required amenities?
What is the predicted life span of the pet? Does that fit in with your lifestyle?

I am not the best with words but I will try hard. A year after my husband and I were married we received a beautiful rott for our anniversary. Being the first Dog I ever had and had the responsibity to train was quite interesting. When she was 5 months old we enrolled her in puppy kindergarden. She didn't do real well the first class but by the second visit she walked where she had walked the time before, which didn't help me because she was just dragging me around with her. by the time class started I was ready for home..but she was so excited to see the other puppy's. She did wonderful really payed attention and did just what she was to do. The dog trainer said she would make a great dog for the dog shows. She really had a beautiful stance for sure. Then One night after work I came home and she was in pain. I wasn't sure what was going on so took her to vet. They ex-rayed her and found she had Hip Dysphasia. I was devastated. I knew nothing of this Illness at all. She was on pain medicine most of her life as well as calcium pills. But despite all her pain she was our best child yet..
She was such a beauty and joy to watch play and learn. If she threw a toy in to my laundry basket she would stop and bark until we could get in to find it. I taught her that she couldn't knock the laundry out of basket and she didn't. We then took her to Dog obedience class and she did well until my husband would show up and go to a picnic table and ignore her.. Midnight learned fast how to whine and whimper. we would be walking in a circle and when she could see my husband again she would bolt with me dragging behind. finally she got better took a couple of visits from husband to get her settled. then he really obeyed the trainer and me.
In 2002 we ended up with custody of my grandson and I was concerned that Midnight might hurt the baby, since all our children were grown and no little ones around most of her life. Boy was I wrong, that little guy would walk to places I was afraid he would get hurt so I would go take his hand and say too dangerous no no. after a couple of this the dog started barking and I looked up and Midnight was looking at me and then the baby. she had blocked the baby from getting in to the place I felt my be dangerous and was not moving and the baby was sure trying. pulling midnights hair trying to get her to move.. I went and got the baby and midnight stayed in the area in case he went back again. They became real good buddies. They played together and at night midnight would sleep for a few hours outside his door. she never did sleep on his bed even when he was sick. couple of nights Midnight had run into our bed room and give a low bark and run to our grandsons door. I would go check on him and he would have a high fever.
We were able to take a cruise and of course dogs are not allowed. we left her in the vet kennel for about 10 days. we called when we could but cell phones were not allowed on the ship. we enjoyed out trip but hurried home to see Midnight and I was shocked she had lost weight and not doing very well at all. we took her home and took days for her to settle down and know we were there for her. Poor dear. then few years after that we took her to California with us and we had a great time, there were lots of pet friendly restraints. she even got to see the beach. it was wonderful. while we were there we noticed a small knot on her neck. We were only there 7 days but by the time we got home the knot was huge. took her to the vet upon arriving home and found it was cancer.
I always knew dogs missed there masters and if they died they morned like humans but I never knew a trip with out your pet could cause such a traumatic state on the beloved pets. (we could talk to her when we were able to call )
Rott's or any other pet, are the responsibility of the owner, and if trained not to hurt people and owners watch there pets closely there should not be a problem. Owners should also know there pets and be aware that pets can be dangerous. You should never get a pet without fully researching the bread and being responsible to train and care for properly. Please be dedicated to your pet and train them so they know how to make you happy.
