You do have to replace it every year or two because the material eventually fuses together. It can be found at any farm store and most pet stores. Or can be gotten for free, if (like me) your daughter is a veterinarian! laugh


I carry this as well, and bought it at the local farm store. A nurse friend of mine told me it is the exact same stuff they sell in "human" stores labeled as self adhering. The difference is that the "animal" stuff is 3X cheaper, and with more color options. I have used it a couple times on my scouts, and my kids.

I also bring dog aspirin that I bought at the farm store. Of course, my dog carries it.
