First Aid

First you should have at least two quality Canine First Aid books, take the time to read and familiarize yourself with the books before an emergency.  With almost all dogs, especially Neapolitans - it is not if you will have an emergency but when will you have an emergency.

It is recommended that you have two first aid kits, one in the home and one in the car.
