    Retriever Care Essentials, Part Two

    When we talk about being prepared for our hunt, we focus on things to take that make our time in the field successful. We make lists of essential safety gear and supplies, but often overlook the needs of our travelling companions - particularly those with four legs.

    Just as you make sure you've got enough food for the people in your party, be sure there's plenty for Fido. On a similar line, you'll want to be sure you bring fresh water for the dog to drink, just like you bring water for yourself - particularly in the early part of the season, when summer temperatures cling on, adequate hydration is just as important for your dog as it is for you.

    Another important consideration is field first aid. You pack at least a limited first aid kit for yourself and those in your party on the off chance that one of you gets hurt. But what about your dog? In addition to common sense things like keeping an eye on his legs and eyes for possible injury, pack a first aid kit especially for him. Include cotton balls, swabs, gauze pads, adhesive tape, saline solution, scissors, toenail clippers, bedadine scrub and a steroid-free ophthalmic ointment. In the event of a mishap on the field, your dog will thank you.
