Checking a kit by its contents, not by its label
Enter the time since the last check and the interval your veterinarian or the maker set, then check off the items. The tool returns how many are on hand, which ones are missing and how long remains until the next check. The list only covers items an owner uses while moving an animal to the clinic.
Time remaining is the interval minus the elapsed time, shown to one decimal place; once the interval has passed it switches to months overdue. The item list follows what the AVMA and the American Red Cross pet first aid guidance both cover. Current as of October 2026.
This tool never gives a dose for any medication. Human pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs can be fatal to dogs and cats, so they do not belong in the kit without veterinary instructions. A kit buys time on the way to the clinic; it does not replace treatment. This tool is for reference only and does not replace veterinary care. Contact your veterinarian right away if you notice symptoms or suspect a problem.
Frequently asked questions
Not for making an animal vomit. With sharp or caustic items, bringing them back up injures the esophagus further. Whether to induce vomiting is a call your veterinarian makes on the phone.
This tool does not name types or strengths. Some ingredients cause problems once licked off, so use only what your veterinarian specifies and keep to flushing with sterile saline until then.
There is no official recommended interval. Enter the interval from your veterinarian or the product label and the tool counts down from that. Check the expiry dates on saline and bandages at the same time.
