Early Alert Canines

Early Alert Canines We provide Diabetic Alert Dogs to people with insulin-dependent diabetes. Early Alert Canines is actively raising funds today!

Early Alert Canines is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that seeks to improve the lives of insulin-dependent diabetics by training, placing and providing recertification services of Diabetic Alert Dogs. Early Alert Canines works with insulin-dependent diabetics of all ages and specializes in "skilled companion" dogs who work with families with young diabetic children. Diabetic Alert Dogs are tra

ined to notify their handlers that the diabetic is experiencing the biochemical changes that happen, undetected by the diabetic and current consumer technology, at the onset of blood sugar changes. The biochemical changes give off a scent that humans cannot recognize, but dogs, with their superior sense of smell, react to quickly. Early Alert Canines provide just that: an early warning which allows the diabetic or diabetic caretaker to avoid acutely dangerous low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Your donation can be made through our website, www.earlyalertcanines.org, or you can contact EAC through postal mail at:
1641 Challenge Dr., #300, Concord, CA 94520

🐾✈️ Air Travel with Service Dogs: Where Do They Go? ✈️🐾When traveling by plane with our service dogs, we always plan ahead for their relief breaks! Most airports have designated pet relief areas, providing a space for dogs to take a break before and after flights. 🌍🐶 Even in these areas, we ensure our dogs remain under control and on leash at all times, and we always clean up after them to keep the space welcoming for everyone. Responsible travel is key to ensuring a smooth journey for both our dogs and fellow passengers! Safe travels and happy tails!

🐾 Life-Saving Alerts in Action! 🩸✨
At EAC, we train our service dogs to detect dangerous changes in blood glucose levels and alert their handlers by pawing them. This clear and reliable signal helps ensure their handler can take action before it becomes an emergency. But the magic doesn’t stop there! 🐕‍🦺💛 Once our dogs are placed with their forever handlers, their alerts become even more personalized to the team—some dogs use gentle nose boops, others tap medical alert buttons, and some even retrieve supplies when needed. No matter the method, the message is the same: "Something's not right—take care of yourself!" These incredible dogs save lives every single day. 🐶💙

🐾 Building Confidence, One Step at a Time! 🐕✨

Our incredible puppy raisers play a vital role in shaping our young service dogs into confident, well-rounded future heroes. 🐶💛 From exposing them to new environments to practicing essential skills, they ensure our pups are prepared for any challenge that comes their way.

Take EAC Louise and her dedicated puppy raiser, for example—they’re working on confidently and properly walking on stairs. Stairs might seem simple to us, but for a young service dog in training, it’s an important skill that builds trust, focus, and poise in new situations. 🪜🌟

We couldn’t do this life-changing work without our amazing puppy raisers and their commitment to positive, thoughtful socialization. Thank you for helping us prepare these pups to change lives!
