I got a kit from my vets and have a human one in the car always.

Bandages, micropore, sterile saline, tick removers in two sizes, diluted Hibiscrub (very handy, gets used for all sorts of minor injuries, don't use it neat), assorted other bits and bobs.

I happen to have a muzzle in the car which was used in an effort to stop Dieta scavenging which we thought was causing her IBS to flare. Sadly that wasn't the case.
