Kit de campo táctico NAR K-9

What is the difference between the Basic and Advanced K-9 Field Kit configurations?

The Basic configuration provides core K-9 bleeding control and trauma management with Celox hemostatic gauze. The Advanced configuration adds expanded trauma management capability beyond the Basic kit and is available with either Celox Gauze or QuikClot Combat Gauze as the hemostatic agent. The Advanced w/Combat Gauze option allows handlers who standardize on CoTCCC-recommended QuikClot for human care to use the same hemostatic technology across both their human and canine kits.

What types of K-9 emergencies does this kit address?

The K-9 Tactical Field Kit is designed to address the full spectrum of canine field emergencies, including: ballistic and penetrating trauma, lacerations, bleeding control, airway emergencies, bloat (gastric dilatation-volvulus), heatstroke management, fracture stabilization, and general trauma requiring bandaging. The inclusion of a thermometer supports vital signs monitoring to detect hyperthermia, hypothermia, and shock.

Is this kit made by North American Rescue?

Yes. The K-9 Tactical Field Kit is manufactured by North American Rescue, the same company that produces the M-FAK, TCCC Combat Casualty Response Kit, and numerous other IFAK systems deployed by U.S. military forces. NAR's expertise in trauma medicine product development is applied to this canine-specific kit, ensuring the same quality standards as their human trauma kits.

What color and configuration options are available?

The kit is available in three colors: Black, Coyote Tan, and Olive Drab. Within each color, you can select Basic w/Celox Gauze, Advanced w/Celox Gauze, or Advanced w/Combat Gauze. SKU numbers vary by color and configuration—for example, Black Basic w/Celox Gauze is SKU 80-1439, Coyote Tan Advanced w/Combat Gauze is SKU 80-1446, and Olive Drab Basic w/Celox Gauze is SKU 80-1441.

Can this kit be used for K-9s in training programs?

Yes. The K-9 Tactical Field Kit is appropriate for law enforcement K-9 units, military working dog programs, and K-9 training academies. Training environments present real injury risks during bite work, obstacle courses, and vehicle loading/unloading, making a dedicated canine trauma kit a sensible investment for any program with working dogs.
