The K-9 IFAK built for working dogs — staged where you need it, ready when it counts.
The Elite First Aid K-9 IFAK is a purpose-built canine individual first aid kit designed for police K-9 handlers, military working dog teams, hunters, and serious field dog owners. It mounts directly to your belt or MOLLE platform, opens fast under stress, and carries the supplies most likely to matter in a real canine emergency — from lacerations and punctures to severe bleeding.
What It Is — and What It Isn't
It is: A field-staged canine first aid and trauma kit designed for rapid access during patrol, hunting, or backcountry use. The Advanced version includes bleeding control tools (tourniquet, chest seal, compressed gauze) alongside a full wound care base.
It isn't: A veterinary treatment system or a substitute for professional veterinary care. This kit supports initial stabilization and wound management until your dog can reach a vet.
Who It's For
- Police K-9 & Military Working Dog Handlers — Advanced kit staged on belt or vest for rapid access during patrol or tactical operations
- Hunters & Field Dog Owners — Compact kit for hunting vests and packs; covers the most common field injuries for bird dogs, hounds, and working dogs in rough terrain
- Hikers, Backpackers & Pet Owners — Basic kit for families and outdoor enthusiasts who want dedicated canine first aid supplies in the vehicle, on trail, or at home

Your Questions, Answered.
"Is $94.99 worth it for a dog kit?" The Advanced kit includes a windlass tourniquet and vented chest seal — the same categories of tools carried for human trauma. If your dog works in the field or on patrol, the cost of not having them is higher than the kit.
"Will this actually fit my setup?" The pouch fits belts up to 5" wide and is MOLLE-compatible. At 3.5" × 6" × 8" and 1.25 lb, it's sized to ride on a duty belt or vest without interfering with your kit.
"I'm not a medic — can I actually use this?" The Basic kit is straightforward wound care. The Advanced kit adds tools that require some familiarity — the included Pet First Aid Guide covers the basics, and we recommend a canine first aid course if you're deploying the Advanced version regularly.
"What if I just need the basics?" The Basic version at $54.99 covers wound care, antiseptics, bandaging, and canine-specific items like a muzzle and allergy tablets. It's a solid starting point for most pet owners and casual field users.
"Is this made in the USA?" Yes. Both versions are manufactured by Elite First Aid in the USA.

FAQs
Q: What's the difference between the Basic and Advanced versions? The Advanced adds a windlass tourniquet, vented chest seal, and Z-folded compressed gauze to the full Basic contents. If your dog is in a working or hunting environment where penetrating trauma or severe bleeding is a realistic risk, choose Advanced.
Q: Is this kit right for my pet dog at home? The Basic version is well-suited for pet owners who want dedicated canine first aid supplies at home, in the car, or on trail. The Advanced version is designed for working and field dogs in higher-risk environments.
Q: Will the pouch fit my duty belt or plate carrier? Yes. The pouch is MOLLE-compatible and includes two belt-attachment straps that fit belts up to 5" wide. It measures 3.5" × 6" × 8" and weighs 1.25 lb fully loaded.
Q: How durable is the pouch? The pouch is made from nylon with YKK zippers throughout — the same zipper standard used in quality tactical and outdoor gear. It's built for field use, not just storage.
Q: Can I restock individual items after use? Yes. The contents are standard medical supply items. Most can be restocked through medical supply retailers. Check the included guide for item specifications.
