K9 IFAK ⎮Triad Medical Training⎮

Originally designed for K9 handlers, this individual first aid kit (IFAK) is perfectly suited for both K9 law enforcement officers and civilians who bring their dogs on adventures. This video is a complete review of the K9 IFAK made by Triad Medical Training.

Great review Sam! I wasn't expecting the shoutout haha If anyone is interested in learning more, just google "K9TECC guidelines" or ask me questions on IG (@tacticalveterinarian)

[@shamroc514]

What do you think about the tac med K9 tq? Have you seen it before? www.tacmedsolutions.com/TacMed-K9-Tourniquet

[@tacticalveterinarian]

@@shamroc514 Excellent question! I owe several and have tested it. It works, HOWEVER, for the price- you can buy several pressure bandages, ace wraps or SWATT that works just as well for dogs...and they have the added benefit of being multipurpose. In addition, under stress or low light conditions, the Tacmed K9 TQ looks/feels similar to the SOFTT (but minus the windlass) and you wouldn't want to grab the wrong TQ for the wrong species haha

[@shamroc514]

@@tacticalveterinarian I've messed with the k9TQ and was worried about it not having a windless, as well as dogs having a bit more bones and joints. I suppose a windless would be more potential for harm than good. In K9s, are we looking to aclude blood flow? Or are we fighting the blood loss before we get to a vet? Obviously I'm not a veterinarian. I'm not sure about the hurdles when it comes to K9/equine trauma care.

[@tacticalveterinarian]

@@shamroc514 The purpose of any extremity TQ is to completely stop hemorrhage. A windlass is not needed for working k9s or your average pet dog (40-80lbs) because their limbs are smaller- which is why a pressure bandage/ace wrap or SWATT work just fine

[@shamroc514]

@@tacticalveterinarian awesome! Thank you! Have you considered maybe making a K9 trauma series? I'm sure Sam would be down to help.

Very little coverage online on medical training for your dogs, even though most of this community probably has multiple dogs in a home, like me. Thanks for touching base on this! 🐕

[@philfortin5995]

We had K9 IFAKs in my USAF days. I forget who made them then but a very good tool for us K9 handlers. Thanks for covering our furry partners.

[@chrisferatu1793]

On the outside of the kit is a CAT tourniquet, and on the inside is a DOG tourniquet...

[@JacksonRig]

stop it 😂😂😂

[@blulight1170]

PrepMedic: Hey thanks for this video. I'm not an "K9 Handler", but I do have a great friend and partner, yes a K9. We spend a lot of time out in the desert or in the mountains, and this "K9 Kit" is really needed, again thanks from the "both of us"!

[@JustJosh365]

Thanks for the video. I would recommend adding non-emergency items to this kit such as a collapsible cup for water and maybe some treats, not to mentions some litter bags. Thanks PrepMedic!

[@kentheyorkshireman6257]

You can actually get a vest for dogs that has molle on it. You might have to find a pouch to spread the weight out but having the dog carry their own kit could come in useful as it's possible to be separated and have other officers closer that could render aid instead of waiting for the handler to arrive. Just a thought

[@James-ke5sx]

Smart idea for our little buddies. I have a small bugout kit attached to a cage for my pet. I added "Revolution antibiotic' for cats and dogs and Polysporin spray antibiotic that gets into fur for cuts and doesn't attract dirt like the paste.

[@seanconlin8712]

Thank you Sam for bringing this topic forward. I'm an EMR in Canada this is a care that I had not thought about as a dog owner.

[@micahpatrick8646]

Well timing video for me, we are coming into our snake season here so K9 first aid is a hot topic. Thanks.

[@PrepMedic]

The guidebook has a section on that actually

[@whitElephant238]

Sam, I just need you to know: I ‘like’ most of your videos, but I had the like button on this one smashed immediately after the intro ❤️❤️❤️

[@artur4390]

I'd personally add a razor; could be useful in a lot of situations

[@PrepMedic]

Not a bad idea. I will probably add that in along with a bag of saline and a decompression needle.

[@bewbew0016]

SAM chest seals makes a lot of sense. Hyfin and Halo are sticky but SAM's are on another level.

Great review Matt. Hope you’re OK with my sharing it.

[@necromanteerrante8095]

There are full molle jackets for dogs. Very usefull. Add ENTEREX, maybe has another name, it is a poison absorbent made with active carbon. Maybe the dog eats something poisoning. And add water.

[@Cameroon110]

Good video brother keep up the good work stay safe out there brother.

[@CasualCaine]

this kit seem to no longer be available would you have another suggestion for a similar kit?

[@nateb9768]

Wait... they have sheriffs in Canada?

How did you like Saskatoon? Was it your first time in Canada?

I don't know about your area, but where I live the Red Cross periodically offers a pet first aid course.

[@PrepMedic]

That is great! I didn’t know they offered that!

St. John Ambulance offers Pet First Aid courses in Ontario Canada.

Am I the only one that laughed at the CAT tourniquet for a K9 IFAK?

[@Dero_milsurp]

Damn $47 2 years ago for the Micro? They have it listed for $68 now.

[@JohnW-yv6yp]

Very interesting, I never really considered an medical kit for pets. Do they make one for cats? Yeah, I know they don’t go into dangerous situations like dogs but, it’d still be nice to have a med kit for my cat if shtf.

[@Izak213]

They might.

[@mattdingo6974]

👍👍👍👍

[@ImJustAGuy1101]

What about compartment syndrome with the Ace bandage. I get thats a secondary concern with an uncontrolled bleed, especially on the pupper. But just wanted to here your thoughts

[@PrepMedic]

Compartment syndrome isn’t a reason not to use a tourniquet and is really only an issue if you don’t tighten it enough and only make a veinous TQ

[@ImJustAGuy1101]

@@PrepMedic Ahhh, okay thank you for the clarification!

"Cat tourniquets are not for your dog" How you said that with a straight face... I'll never know

[@commentername9737]

Just be sure not to forget that particular thermometer is for K9s *only*. Don't want to mix up the temp takers from your kits.

[@anthonypetrillo841]

So basically add a muzzle to your regular kit. 😂 Looks like a great product, though.
