I never knew until what happened recently in Southport where many Police Dogs were injured that although first aid kits for humans are kept in police cars none are done so for police dogs.  

Police dogs do not ask or volunteer to work for the police, they are chosen and happily do so for their humans, giving their lives to do their work too often and even more often becoming injured while doing their work.

This means as no dog-friendly first aid kit is kept in police vehicles there is a delay in injuries being treated as a dog has to go to vets or I am sure is treated with human first aid kits but as they are not dog-specific are nowhere near as good.

I know money for all police forces is tight but supplying dog-friendly first aid kits is a must.  I know police forces care deeply for their canine partners and I presume this is just an oversight. 

Please sign this to hopefully persuade police force a dog-friendly first aid kit is as much a necessity as their batons and should be in all police vehicles so an injured dog can be taken to the nearest vehicle or police can go to the nearest one to get the kit to help the dog(s).

NB: Sorry photo is of my dog not a police dog as I don't have the legal right to use any on the web but happy to change to one if someone gives me permission to do so.
