Medical direction — IFAK first aid kits for service dogs

As professional cynologists in the field of humanitarian demining, we recommend that the first aid kit is carried by the operator, andnot a dog.Our flagship is the DSTU 8782:2018 class K9 dog body armor, made of bulletproof UHMWPE panels in a protective cover made of Cordura 500D Multicam fabric. The vest is rated for 9×18 PM/APS and 9×19 Luger pistol bullets — protection class 1 under DSTU 8782:2018 (test report No. 5513/2026 of the NDI VVM test center). This ensures quick access to medical supplies in a critical situation and does not create an unnecessary burden on the animal.

The basic equipment may include a turnstile for dogs or an Omega elastic bandage to stop bleeding and fix damage. The filling of the first aid kit is selected depending on the tasks, working conditions and needs of the unit.
