A Medical Alert Service dog could be the difference between a life and death situations. Lately in the news the newest type service dogs are Allergy Alert Dogs (ie peanut sniffing). Where these wonderfully trained animals are taught to alert the individual within minutes before coming in contact with such type of food, even if another person may have eaten such food and then later touch a piece of furniture such as a chair or table.

Countless people end up in the emergency rooms because of Food Allergies. It's one of the most deadliest disability there are as it affects thousands if not millions of individuals especially children in the U.S.A alone.

Many times one doesn't participate in various group activities, go out to restaurants, or even play in a simple ball game. But having a Medical Alert Respond Service Dog (ie. Allergy Alert) gives the individual / families more independence and freedom.
