A K9 team is two patients in one unit — the dog and the handler. A standard IFAK covers neither well: it has nothing canine-specific, and a single load runs out in a multi-casualty track.
What covers both the dog and the handler in one pack?
The K-9 RUF Medical Kit is NAR's answer for teams carrying trauma capability for both a working dog and the handler in one deployable package. The slim RUF bag (18 × 8 × 2″) holds two tear-away internal panels, each loaded with a complete IFAK-level set — two independent treatment loads for sustained operations or multi-casualty scenarios. Two tear-away clear accessory pouches hold the K9-specific veterinary supplies, and a shock-cord panel secures the compact NAR K-9 Litter for canine evacuation. The CoTCCC-recommended C-A-T® tourniquets (two included) address extremity hemorrhage and are configured for human use — serving the handler or any injured person. Veterinary tissue adhesive and tape are sized for canine wound closure, and the veterinary thermometer supports assessment of heat injury, a leading cause of canine incapacitation in high-activity work; survival wraps address hypothermia for canine and human casualties alike. MOLLE/PALS attachment keeps the kit on the vest or armor, and the removable waist strap suits tracking work where a shoulder-carried kit could snag vegetation.
