✨ Client Spotlight - Team Maggie ✨
From her Mom:
Maggie changed our lives in a way I don’t think words will ever fully capture, but I’ll try.💙
Our son, Aaden, has autism, and for a long time the world felt overwhelming for him. Simple things like sleeping in his own bed or managing daily anxiety were constant challenges. As parents, you just want to help your child feel safe, confident, and at peace… and for a while, that felt out of reach.
Then Maggie came into our lives.
She didn’t just help, she bounced into our lives full of joy and transformed everything. Maggie gives Aaden a sense of calm we had never seen before. She helps him work through his triggers, lowers his anxiety, and gives him the confidence to face each day. Bedtime is no longer a struggle. New places are no longer impossible. With Maggie by his side, Aaden feels safe enough to try, to grow, and to experience the world. And because of that, so do we.
Maggie hasn’t just helped Aaden, she’s transformed our entire family. She’s brought peace into our home, freedom into our lives, and so much love into our hearts. Watching the bond between them is something truly special… something we will never take for granted.
We couldn’t feel more blessed to have found Medi-Dogs. Maggie is not just a service dog, she is family, she is hope, and she is everything we didn’t know we needed. 💙

“Get dressed!” isn’t just a cute trick—it’s an important service dog skill. 🐾
For some dogs, having a vest put on them can feel uncomfortable or worrying. That’s why we train this skill so the dog does the work themselves—putting the vest on and taking it off. When they control the movement, it builds confidence and keeps the experience positive.
It’s also about accessibility. Some handlers can’t easily bend down to gear up their dog, or doing so can worsen their symptoms. Teaching dogs to manage the vest themselves helps keep this process safe and accessible for everyone who needs it.
Benny and Marta are showing off their “get dressed” and “remove” cues—and they nailed it. Well done, pups! 👏🐶

Why are diabetic alert dogs part of many Type 1 Diabetics toolkits when we have such great technology?
Simple, Technology Fails!
Continuous Glucose Monitors are typically around 15-20 minutes behind real time. That means by the time the CGM alerts there is an issue, a T1D could be far from the number it is currently showing. This can lead to extremely low BG while the cgm shows an in range number, which can be extremely dangerous!
Additionally, technology can’t retrieve a medication bag, bark for help or provide comfort and grounding during scary lows and highs.
Everyone should be able to use the tools that work best for them!
Pictured is Team Ope showing off how he beats technology. The glucose monitor shows a real time BG reading of 198 (high!) and the CGM is showing 147 (in range) with a level arrow meaning the CGM didn’t even think a rise was happening. Due to Ope’s early alert insulin was administered and Toby didn’t stay high as long. Way to go, Team Ope!
