Summer is about adventures with the whole family - and that includes your pet. However it's important to plan ahead for emergencies and take much more than waste bags.
Vet charity PDSA said its research found that 80% of owners don’t own a pet first aid kit and nine out of ten owners have no pet first aid training. Yet these could be crucial in case of an emergency, according to vet nurse Shauna Walsh.
She said: "Just like we have our own first aid kits, pet owners should have one with the items needed to treat smaller injuries. This is especially important if you plan on taking your furry family member out and about with you this summer. If you are taking any road trips with your pet, it can be helpful to keep a second one in the car too."
