About Early Alert Canines

Early Alert Canines (EAC) is dedicated to training and providing Medical Alert Service Dogs for individuals experiencing life-threatening blood sugar fluctuations due to insulin-dependent diabetes. Our organization thrives on a diverse community of clients, staff, volunteers, partners, and donors, encompassing a wide range of races, religions, ethnicities, ages, and gender identities. Each EAC client faces the challenge of managing a critical disease, and we are honored to offer personalized support to enhance their quality of life. We foster a non-judgmental, inclusive environment where every client is supported and celebrated for their unique qualities.

The Impact of Diabetic Alert Dogs

Diabetic Alert Dogs offer essential, life-saving assistance to people with diabetes. Hypoglycemia, a severe side effect of insulin therapy, can lead to serious medical issues such as coma or death. Early detection of dropping blood glucose levels is crucial.

While modern medical technology allows for regular blood sugar testing, there are many situations where such checks are impractical or impossible—during sleep, intense physical activity, at school, work, or business meetings.

Early Alert Canines are continuously vigilant for their insulin-dependent partners, providing timely warnings about dangerous changes in blood sugar levels. These dogs are not just companions; they are life savers and life changers.
