Medical Detection Dogs

Medical Detection Dogs are truly grateful for the support they have received from The Childwick Trust, which has helped towards the costs of training and placing Medical Alert Assistance Dogs.

These dogs are trained to support people who live with a complex medical condition and have limited awareness of an impending life-threatening medical episode. They are trained to identify minute odour changes emitted prior to an emergency and alert the person to take preventative action. Having a Medical Alert Assistance Dog enables them to live fuller, more independent lives, and critically keeps them out of hospital.
