How many of you dog owners keep vet supplies at home

Out here where I live we all keep PenG and vet wrap, syringes, and bottles of linament, and various assorted topical dressings. We do our own wormings and many times our own vaccinating too.
I wonder, if there was a first aid course for dogs, would you pay a fee to attend and learn first aid for your pet?
Here many times the vet is out working cattle (vacinating, worming and vet checking big herds), so sometimes we must wait awhile for his return. Guess that's why we have emergency "kits" and a little know how. Many times we assist the vet with our pets, we don't just drop them off, he couild be short handed.
I was thinking maybe some of you would like to learn basic vet firat aid and could organize something with a shelter. seems like lots of folks have little emergencies and they might feel better if they knew what to worry about and fely they could help their pet if necessary.

We keep all of that too...Our critter medicine cabinet rivals our own...lol!
I think there'd be a great interest in learning pet 1st aid...Saves money & gives peace of mind for those of us who live so far out from town.

I keep the very basic first aid supplies on hand like sterile saline, etc. but nothing too advanced. I think a thorough first aid course for dogs is a great idea - I'd sign up today!
