Great Dane Discussions / Service and therapy dogs for a diabetic?
« on: November 11, 2005, 08:11:17 pm »
Hello,
I was wondering... I am a diabetic and * knock on wood* i havent had any serious probs ( well not since i had to do all the initial diagnosis and hospital stuff). well do diabetics qualify for service dogs? I dont plan on applying for one but it made me think..... cause way in the future i want to get another dane. so could i train it or get it trained to be my service dog and a therapy dog. Being a new diabetic im not sure if a service dog would come in handy if somthing did occur, but just a thought. i would not only love to take him to homes and be able to do that stuff with me but i know training get a good bond and things. I know Nee is doing it and i think its awsome. well if anyone could give me info about it cause now my curiosity is driving me nuts i would be happy. thanks!!
