The Kennel Club Charitable Trust has helped a range of scientific and educational organisations to make a difference for dogs. Here are just a few examples of how it has made a difference.

Cancer and Bio-detection Dogs £5,000 towards the training of dogs for cancer detection and diabetes

Cancer and Bio-detection dogs is a new charity that works in partnership with researchers from the Buckinghamshire Hospitals NHS Trust. We train specialist dogs to detect the odour of human diseases, including cancer and diabetes. The Charity also provides detection dogs for individuals with type 1 diabetes and poor hypoglycemic awareness. The dogs reliably identify and alert when their owner's blood sugar drops to a level that results in a hypoglycemic episode. These episodes if left unnoticed result in a collapse, coma or even death. We are very grateful to the Kennel Club Charitable Trust for supporting our pioneering work.
