Answer:
Here's a site where you can buy general first aid kits for animals.
I'd like to get one soon.
It can be found here: http://www.petpak.com/


Answer:
Global Pet Foods also sells them here for cats & dogs, called "Me-OW" & "Bow-wOW". Cute boxes, valuable insides.


Answer:
You could always just make your own First Aid Kit... that's what my friends & I did. We keep it in the trunk of the car b/c if one of the dogs get injured it usually happens on our runs through the woods. It's usually one of the bigger dogs...
I also carry gauze & vet wrap in my pack for immediate use.
I find that some of the kits they sell are overpriced and some of the things you may never use and other things they provide so few that if you have a large dog you'd need more for it to be useful...
