Diabetic Alert Dogs Save Lives

As service dog providers, SDWR knows the dangers that come with diabetes. If you are a diabetes care taker, there is always that worry about your loved one hitting a high or low, and you not being there to provide the care they need. Our dogs for Diabetic children or adults are here for that very reason: to alleviate the fear you feel and truly protect your loved ones. Not only are our service dogs trained to alert, they are capable of retrieving third party support, accessing food and medication, and dialing 911 on a special device. We can proudly say that our dogs are not just life-changing, they are saving lives.

Finding the Protection You Need

With an invisible illness, it proves difficult to find others who understand yours or your loved one’s disease. There are complications and responsibilities that others do not understand. Fortunately, diabetes service dogs provide this level of understanding. They are thoroughly trained to detect, alert and in return protect their owner’s health.

“Ace woke me up at 4:30am…at first I was like “Really?? I am sooo tired…but I listened and I got up and tested Alex. Alex was 72–anything below 80 while sleeping is dangerous. I’m so glad I listened to Ace, drug myself out of bed and got Alex some juice. These night time lows are the scariest. Thank you Ace for catching it before it was even worse!”

What is a Diabetes Alert Dog?

A diabetes service dog is is trained to alert for highs and lows that occur in Diabetics. They are also trained to retrieve third party support, retrieve food and medication and dial for help on a special device. Yes, they are trained to keep the life of a Diabetic stable and safe. What is not so obvious is their contribution to creating independence and peace in the lives of those affected by diabetes and their caretakers. As service dog providers, we’ve seen Diabetic Alert Dogs changes lives. 

In this Service Dogs by Warren Retrievers testimonial, we find a juvenile Diabetic, Matt and his family coping with constant diabetes care. In the beginning of the film, we see that Matt’s mother was slightly skeptical in investing in a service dog for diabetes. Upon witnessing the miracle that a diabetes dog can bring, the family immediately set out to fund raise for a service dog. Soon thereafter, Pilot was introduced into their households as a Diabetic Alert Dog. 

How does Pilot Help Matt Live a Better Life?

For any Diabetic, highs and lows will always be something to fear. As someone who requires diabetes care from his parents, Matt is never free from having his family check him for these high and lows. With the introduction of Pilot, Matt’s mother and father are now able to loosen their grip in diabetes care. For Matt, this means increased independence,and more safety. Pilot is always there to alert, long before a high or low hits Matt. The independence a diabetes service dog provides is invaluable. Before Pilot, Matt’s mother worried about his growing into a normal child:

Pilot fills in the gap that is presented between diabetes, safety and independence. Through Pilot, Matt is now able to live life a normal child and increase his safety.

‘Midnight Three & Six’: A Day in the Life of a Juvenile Diabetic

Click here to watch 'Midnight Three & Six'

With its premier in Sundance Film Festival 2015, ‘Midnight Three & Six’ brings us a close look in the life of a juvenile Diabetic, Grace Chamberlain. The film begins with Grace’s mother showing us the many medications prescribed to Grace to handle her diabetes. While showcasing the physical and practical aspects of diabetes, the filmmaker also captures the emotional toll of living with diabetes, both for the care taker and the Diabetic herself. Though Grace is a normal teenager, her life is markedly different through her invisible illness.

On Being a Juvenile Diabetic

Through the film we find Grace’s mother taking great lengths to care for her daughter’s highs and lows. As  a young adult, Grace looks to find independence, while her mother struggles to let her go due to the ongoing diabetes care she needs. As a Diabetic, Grace is wise beyond her years. She acknowledges her disease could cause serious harm if not constantly monitored. As a volatile Diabetic, finding independence proves to be a challenge.

Though ‘Midnight Three & Six’ highlights the serious health risks that come with this invisible illness, it makes sure to highlight the Chamberlain’s one reliable friend: Jackie the Service Dogs by Warren Retrievers Diabetic Alert Dog. Through the film, Jackie plays a crucial role for the Chamberlain family: she provides peace to Grace’s mother, as a “layer of protection between what could happen and what will happen to Grace.” While Grace’s mother finds comfort in the protection that Jackie provides through alerting, Grace finds comfort through her company and companionship:

“When I got Jackie, a lot of things changed for me…I don’t remember being this happy before…I don’t remember liking dogs as much before…I take her everywhere with me…”

We find that a Diabetic Alert Dog provides juvenile Diabetics more than protection: they provide love, solace and friendship. When a child is faced with diabetes, it is pertinent to have a service dog for support and comfort.

Finding Life Through Autism Service Dogs

Generally, people are led to believe that autism assistance dogs are only helpful for those who live directly with autism. At SDWR, we can tell you that anyone affected by autism directly or indirectly benefits from our Autism Service Dogs. They provide the care you never knew existed. As we mentioned, families of those who suffer from autism often find themselves with a kind of loneliness that only comes with an invisible illness. With a service dog who is raised to understand autism, filling in the gap of loneliness is possible. Your child is able to find  a sense of companionship through a service dog always being there by his or her side.

Finding a peace of mind through autism care is priceless. Others do not fully understand spectrum disorder, making it difficult to find help in caring for your child. Our service dogs are good dogs for children with autism. Through their friendly nature and intense training, a service dog is capable of keeping your child safe from self-harm, elopements, emotional outbreaks and more. These benefits are apparent, but more so, you will find your child or loved one feeling calm, social and more secure in the presence of his or her service dog.
