First Aid - Muzzle Your Dog

You could find yourself in a situation where you will need to administer first aid to your dog. The circumstances may warrant the necessity of using a muzzle on your dog. You do not want your dog panicking or fighting against you when you are trying to help them. Most of us do not have a muzzle, but you can make one. You can use a pair of pantyhose, or a necktie. Tie a loose knot in the middle of what you have on hand; now you should should have a loop. Put the loop over the dog's nose; place it about halfway up the nose and gently tighten. Then take the two loose ends and tie in a knot under the chin. If you have enough left over from knotting under the chin, bring it up and secure across the back of the dog.
