Moving on to ChuckH's post on avoiding cholla cactus, that might state the core principle of any first aid kit - insofar as possible avoid the places and situations that would require actual medical/first aid treatment. [/quote]
That would be a difficult advice to follow. I would have to avoid a large percentage of the places I hunt. I think rather than avoid plan for an encounter and how to fix that whether it is from your first aid box or something the dog is already prepared for i.e. skid plate, neoprene vest, doggy boots, carry a water tray, etc.
