Dogs first aid kit - do you have one?

I keep a first aid kit in the fridge - just in case, with:

Antibiotic powder (stops bleeding and infection)

Snake venom serum (viper)

iodine solution

Anti-poison serum (lanate is the locals poison of choice and kills within minutes)

ear mite solution (just in case)

antiseptic cream

If you have a first aid kit, is there anything else you could add to my list? Thanks!

Update:

Mommy to a little bug: I haven't had to use anything in it either - it's a "just in case" thing. I especially hope I never have to inject her with the poison antidotes - but sadly here, poison is deliberately laid in public and even thrown into your private yards, and of course you never know where a snake is lurking until it is too late.

Update 3:

Here in Cyprus lanate is the poison that is used to kill dogs and cats, so my antidote is for this lethal poison (lanate can kill within 10 minutes - not enough time to rush to a vet). lanate is banned in every other European county except Cyprus.

    That's good. Always wise to be prepared! Ask your vet if they recommend anything else.

    I've never needed any first aid supplies and we are going on 8 years. My princess doesn't leave my sight though, except for when need to go somewhere that doesn't allow pets. She waits in the locked van or truck. She doesn't go hiking through the woods alone or near any animals that could attack her.

    EDIT: The posion thing is something I've always been worried about. Although I haven't heard of it locally (that is SO terrible!) it has been a concern. How would you know if your dog walked through poison or sniffed it though? Would the anti-poison serum hurt your dog if you gave it to it when it wasn't needed?

    I easily have bandages, dressing pads, tape, disposable gloves, a tube grip to bypass over the plaster so the dogs won't be able to worry the dressing below & a rubber boot with wrap around velcro for a comfortable in good shape for paw/hock injuries. particularly basic stuff, & probable might desire to stand some progression.

    I have a couple different medicines I keep that are left overs. I also keep bendryl in my purse, car and house just in case he gets an allergic reaction.

    I have one. I bought mine from my local vet surgery. I'll haven't had to open it yet, but now you've made me curious as to what's in there. XD
