There has been considerable debate about the effectiveness of snakebite kits for dogs. These kits are designed not only to address snakebites but also to extract the venom from a bee or wasp sting and even a spider bite affecting you or your dog.
Many of us have seen old western movies where a cowboy makes an X on a snakebite and then sucks out the venom with his mouth. This concept is similar to the intended use of these kits.
Your first course of action should always be to contact your veterinarian. Make sure they have antivenom available; if they don’t, they can refer you to a veterinarian who does. This is the safest way to ensure your pet’s recovery. However, if you are hiking or camping and cannot reach a vet immediately, one of these kits could potentially save your pet’s life.
Stay calm, and try to keep your dog as calm as possible. Keep the affected limb below the level of the heart to slow blood flow. Each kit includes a tourniquet meant to be applied just above the wound to help slow down blood flow toward the heart.

The effectiveness of the kit will depend on the location and depth of the bite or sting. If your dog is bitten on the snout or face, loosen their collar immediately.

Its like you learn my thoughts! You seem to grasp so much
approximately this, such as you wrote the e-book
in it or something. I feel that you can do with a few percent to
drive the message home a bit, however instead of that, that is fantastic blog.
An excellent read. I’ll certainly be back.
