I’m Dr. Fitz. Today we’re gonna be talking about pet first aid kits. Most of us enjoy being able to take our pets on the road. We come prepared with their food, water, toys, leash, everything they might need along the way. But what if there’s an emergency? Do you have supplies with you to quickly care for your pet? In this segment, I’ll be going over some of the items that you should pack with you to make a first aid kit for your pet.

I’m Dr. Fitz. I’m a small animal veterinarian in mid-Michigan. My passion is owner education and providing general pet health information. I’ve lived in Michigan my whole life. So I’m a Michigander. I love the outdoors, I travel frequently, and I actually enjoy hiking and exploring national parks with my husband. Many of you that also enjoy the outdoors like to take your pets along for the ride. In fact, as many as 70% of our viewers travel with their pets. With this series “Paws on Board,” I hope to help you as pet owners and our viewers travel safely and comfortably with your pets.
