The above book has some great ideas of what else to pack in a first aid kit. For adventure dogs think about the nature of the adventure and pack accordingly. Going into the backcountry think about what you would need to have until you can get help vs car camping where you might bring more things to be able to treat simple issues. Be sure to check with your veterinarian about appropriate dosages and what you need to know about using first aid medications for your pet.

The Garmin Inreach is one of my favorite pieces of adventure dog gear! Being able to text via GPS no matter where you are can make a big difference. I know backpackers who have used it to arrange emergency meet ups with someone to get their dogs to a vet when things happened on the trail and it was closer for them to hike out to a road than hike back to their vehicle at the trailhead.
