Default skin stapler & remover kit for dogs

Something I should have had in my emergency dog kit a long time ago to fix barb wire cuts.



Any experience with these anyone?

That can be used on humans too. If you are in the bush and got a good cut - that’s the way to go to close the wound.

Yup. Handy to have that’s for sure. Had to staple up my pup last summer. She got a darn good puncture in her chest, ripped a flap of skin open.

Main thing is it has to be clean, and the hair trimmed back.

Took her to the vet and got a round out antibiotics from the vet to be sure.

If you have to put in stitches - try dental floss! Strong, knots well, and easy to cut & slide out later.
