A bit about medical detection:


Medical Detection Dogs help train specialist dogs to detect the odour of human disease for bio-detection and medical alert purposes.

Medical Alert Dogs are trained to assist individuals who manage complex medical conditions on a day to day basis. Dogs are taught to identify the odour changes that are associated with certain medical events.

Medical Alert Dogs can also be used to help those with other dangerous health conditions such as Addisonian crisis, pain seizures and narcolepsy. The charity is also investigating other debilitating and potentially fatal conditions which dogs may have the ability to help, including severe allergic responses and migraines.

Come and find out more about this amazing use of the dogs sense of smell!
