Christmas Cracker 14 - Canine First Aid Kit

Number 14:Ruffwear K-9 First Aid Kit

It's our final Christmas Cracker and let's be honest, it's reached the point where if you're still buying pressies, you'll need to use those scary bricks and mortar shops. But be brave, smile politely at the sales assistant and it'll be okay. Just think of them as being like a web site but more human.

And talking of human, our final cracker is the ideal present for any hillwalking dog owner in the form of the Ruff Wear canine first aid kit which contains everything you need to 'treat and transport' your hound in the event of an accident.

Happily the canine kit also doubles as a human first aid kit, though we wouldn't suggest you carry your walking partner off the hill using it. It weighs in at under 500 grammes, comes in an unfolding ballistic nylon carrying case and comes with a quick guide to animal emergencies, a gunshot wound card and a comprehensive selection of medical supplies including dressings, scissors, latex gloves tape and more. Priced at £35.

There are plenty of other outdoor doggy options from Ruff Wear - see www.ruffwear.com including collars, harnesses, portable sleeping mats, and handy dog packs so your mutty mate can carry his or her own kit. For UK stockist details contact Rosker - www.rosker.co.uk.
