Dogshow Bag Essentials

After a recent post by Dollydaydream(Sarah) I thought it be useful to make sure from now on we have a bottle of suncream kept in the dog bag.

I know I always have some as I am really sun sensitive.

I also have a small first aid kit in mine, including antihistamines just incase the dogs get stung. I also have a bottle of rescue remedy, although I have been noted to have it myself

Any other tips on what is useful to have in the show bag apart from the showing gear?

Bottle of water for the dogs as it saves endless trips to get some

and a pen because I always forget one

(and yes Rescue remedy for me- even though Stu skits me)

Safty pins and/or a needle..I once caught my heel in the hem of my skirt and had to go in for BOB with my hem hanging down

good thinking, that is something I will be adding to mine Mini

A good idea with water is to take a large bottle, I use a 3 litre squash bottle and half fill it with water. I then freeze it then top it up with water on the morning of the show. The water stays freezing cold all day.

Oh and a bottle opener for the handler LOL

sorry to change subject where is the best to get rescue remedy and arnica on line ....uk sites please ?

I get RR from Holland Barrett Inca

Ainsworths in London are a homeopathic pharmacy, bear with me just going to see if I can find a link for them
