Keeping Your Gun Dog Healthy

Accidents in the field happen. A barbed wire fence hidden in tall grass, thorny

the field" often means a long way from medical attention. Keep a tube of
EMT Gel in your pocket, though, and instant relief is on the way. This all-natural

EMT Spray. Fast and neat, it also contains Bitrex, which helps prevent your dog
from licking and scratching the wound. |
