Police K-9s and military working dogs take fire, hit wire and glass, ride in crashes, and overheat — and they suffer canine-specific emergencies like GDV (gastric dilatation-volvulus) that no human IFAK addresses. Canine anatomy and the size of the patient demand tools built for the actual dog, not improvised from a handler’s personal kit.
When your partner goes down, is the kit on your belt actually built for a dog — or just a human IFAK you’re hoping translates?
This kit is engineered for the working dog by North American Rescue — the same firm behind the most widely fielded IFAK systems in U.S. military history. It addresses bleeding control with hemostatic gauze (Celox, or CoTCCC-recommended QuikClot Combat Gauze in Advanced builds), wound management with canine-appropriate bandaging and dressings, airway support, fracture stabilization with a splint, and vital-signs monitoring with an included thermometer — in a durable, multi-carry bag that rides in a vehicle, on MOLLE, or drop-leg.
Built For The Patient, Not Improvised
Hemostatic Bleeding Control
Celox chitosan gauze on Basic builds; CoTCCC-recommended QuikClot Combat Gauze (validated for human use) on Advanced builds — for handlers who standardize one hemostatic across human and canine kits.
Canine Wound Management
Bandages and trauma dressings sized and configured for canine anatomy and the bite, laceration, and ballistic wounds working dogs actually take.
Airway Management
Tools to support a compromised airway in a downed or sedated dog — capability a human IFAK doesn’t carry.
Fracture Stabilization
An included splint for stabilizing limb injuries from falls, vehicle strikes, or obstacle trauma before transport to a veterinarian.
Vitals & GDV Awareness
An included thermometer for monitoring — core for heatstroke and for catching the early signs of life-threatening bloat (GDV) in the field.
Multi-Carry, Field-Ready
A durable portable bag with bag-carry, MOLLE, and drop-leg options for flexible deployment in the field, the vehicle, or at base.

The Kit Is The System
A canine kit is only as good as the handler’s training on it. North American Rescue built the platform; the outcome depends on rehearsed familiarity with where each item lives and the canine-specific protocols for hemorrhage, airway, heatstroke, and GDV. Standardize the kit across your K-9 unit, train on it, and the right tool is in hand when seconds count for your partner.
Who Carries It
Law Enforcement K-9 Units — patrol and detection handlers who need field trauma capability built for the dog.
Military Working Dog Teams — downrange and training-environment care for the MWD.
