I read somewhere about using a 1/2 and 1/2 solution of bleach and water to clean out wounds with.  I've used it on one dog that got a couple of shoulder cuts a couple of weeks ago, and the wound is closed and just about completely healed now.  I've used it on myself several times too and it works like a champ.

I also use sugar for bloodstop.  Tampons work great too, I've never used them on dogs, but we kept them while on patrol and they are jam up for bullet wounds.

I learned to treat sucking wounds while in the corps, ziploc bags are priceless for this.

Ya'll may not like it, but there have been times when rubbing some dirt on it will do in a pinch to stop the blood, on you or your dogs.
