We train Medical Alert & Bio Detection Dogs to save lives by detecting human disease

Story

The Zoetis UK Ruminants Team are planning to log 3,000 hours of exercise (which is the time it would take a dog to run twice around the world!) between 29th March and 31st October.

The exercise needs to be based on forward motion and equates to each team member undertaking around 3 hours per week over the course of the challenge! 

Medical Detection Dogs trains dogs to save lives using their amazing sense of smell. Dogs are the best bio-sensors. They can detect odours as tiny as a teaspoon of sugar in 2 Olympic sized swimming pools! With your help we can train more of these amazing dogs, so our Medical Alert Dogs can help more people with complex healthcare needs live safe in the knowledge they have a furry life-saver by their side and do more research to give medics the tools they need for faster, more reliable, non-invasive diagnosis of cancer and other diseases.

About the charity

Medical Detection Dogs trains dogs to detect the odour of disease. Our research includes cancer, Parkinson's and other diseases and could save millions of lives by improving diagnostics. We already help people manage complex, life-threatening medical conditions by training Medical Alert Dogs.
