North American Rescue — K-9 Trauma K-9 Handler IFAK Kit A dual-purpose compact trauma kit built to treat an injured working dog at the point of injury — and equip the handler with a C-A-T® tourniquet for self-aid or buddy-aid on a human casualty from the same kit. MOLLE/PALS mountable, Quick-Detach-Panel compatible. H 7 × W 4.5 × D 2.75″, 1 lb 5 oz. Basic and Advanced configs in Black, Coyote Tan, Olive Drab, Multicam. K-9 + HumanC-A-T® IncludedMOLLE/PALSBasic / Advanced Military working dogs and police K-9s face the same ballistic, blast, and laceration threats as their handlers — but a standard IFAK carries nothing canine-specific, and a typical pet first-aid kit has none of the trauma capability a tactical casualty demands. What does a handler carry to treat the dog — and themselves — from one kit? This kit, built by the company behind the C-A-T® program. It pairs canine-relevant trauma items with a full human-capable hemorrhage and chest loadout, reflecting how K-9 incidents actually unfold: the handler may need to treat the dog and a person in the same event. A C-A-T® tourniquet (CoTCCC-recommended for human extremity hemorrhage), a HyFin® Vent Chest Seal twin pack (CoTCCC-recommended), a 4″ ETD, NAR® Compressed Gauze, petrolatum gauze, and a digital veterinary thermometer cover bleeding, penetrating chest wounds, and canine assessment including heat injury and bloat. The Advanced configuration upgrades the gauze to QuikClot® Combat Gauze Z-Fold — the CoTCCC-recommended hemostatic for human casualties. MOLLE/PALS mounting attaches it to a vest, plate carrier, or harness; NAR's Quick Detach Panel (sold separately) lets the whole kit pull free for side-of-patient use.

Patrol and deployment integration: Sized and configured to mount on a handler's duty belt or carrier alongside the K-9 Field Kit, covering both members of the team. Active-threat response: Handlers in K-9 entry teams face the same ballistic and blast threats as other tactical operators — the IFAK provides the same individual TCCC response capability. Training and certification: K-9 handler TCCC qualification courses require an appropriate individual IFAK; this kit meets that standard. Unit K-9 program standardization: Issuing both the K-9 Handler IFAK and the K-9 Field Kit to each team standardizes equipment across the K-9 program. Best practice: Mount the handler IFAK on the opposite side of the body from the K-9 leash hand. In a contact situation, the dominant hand manages the dog and the non-dominant-side IFAK stays accessible to your buddy. How K-9 Handler IFAK Kit Compares K-9 Handler IFAK vs. Standard IPOK: The IPOK is the standard individual LE trauma kit. The K-9 Handler IFAK is a companion product specifically configured for handlers who also carry the K-9 Field Kit — differentiated labeling and configuration prevent confusion between human and canine kits. K-9 Handler IFAK vs. K-9 Field Kit: The K-9 Tactical Field Kit is purpose-built for the canine patient — hemostatic gauze, airway tools, splint, and thermometer. The Handler IFAK is for the human operator. Both should be carried on every K-9 team deployment. K-9 Handler IFAK vs. ROO M-FAK: The ROO M-FAK is a compact individual IFAK for minimal-profile carry. The K-9 Handler IFAK is a purpose-designed kit that complements the K-9 program's two-kit system without requiring individual item selection. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Is the K-9 Handler IFAK CoTCCC-recommended? A: The K-9 Handler IFAK is built around CoTCCC-recommended devices for human trauma care — including the C-A-T® tourniquet and HyFin® Vent Chest Seal where included. It is the handler's personal TCCC kit, not a canine medical kit. Q: Does the K-9 Handler IFAK include canine medical supplies? A: No. The K-9 Handler IFAK is configured for human trauma care. Canine medical supplies are covered by the K-9 Tactical Field Kit or K-9 RUF Medical Kit, which should be carried separately. Q: What is the recommended carry position for the handler IFAK? A: Mount on the opposite side of the body from the leash hand to preserve access during handler-dog contact situations. Vertical MOLLE mounting on a plate carrier or horizontal duty-belt carry are both appropriate. Q: What is the NSN for the K-9 Handler IFAK? A: Contact MED-TAC International for current NSN and procurement information. NAR K-9 program products are available through DLA/GSA and law enforcement supply channels. Q: Should the K-9 Handler IFAK and K-9 Field Kit be labeled differently? A: Yes. Clearly differentiate human and canine kits with color coding or labeling to prevent cross-application under stress. NAR K-9 program products are designed with this distinction built in.
