K-9 Tactical Field Kit – Canine Emergency Medical

Key Specifications

Product Overview

Military working dogs and police K-9 units face a medical threat landscape that spans ballistic injuries, bite wounds, lacerations from obstacles or wire, blunt trauma from vehicle accidents, bloat (gastric dilatation-volvulus—a life-threatening K-9 emergency), heatstroke, and respiratory emergencies. Standard human IFAKs are inadequate for this range of canine-specific emergencies, and the size difference between human and canine anatomy requires tools designed for the actual patient. The NAR K-9 Tactical Field Kit is purpose-built to address the full spectrum of K-9 field emergencies with clinically appropriate equipment.

North American Rescue—one of the most trusted names in tactical medicine and the manufacturer of the most widely deployed IFAK systems in U.S. military history—applied the same design rigor to this canine kit. The result is a comprehensive field kit that addresses bleeding control with hemostatic gauze (Celox or CoTCCC-recommended QuikClot Combat Gauze in Advanced configurations), wound management with bandages and dressings, airway management, splinting for fracture stabilization, and basic vital signs monitoring with an included thermometer.

The three configuration options allow handlers and agencies to select the appropriate level of care capability. The Basic configurations provide essential bleeding control with Celox hemostatic gauze. The Advanced configurations add additional trauma management capability and are available with either Celox Gauze or QuikClot Combat Gauze as the hemostatic agent. All configurations come in a portable, durable bag with multi-carry options for flexible deployment in field, vehicle, or base environments.
