Food And Dietary Supplements

To learn nearly 100 assistance dog commands, each VWD dog needs proper nourishment. This includes premium food, supplements, and of course, treats to motivate learning. In the two-year dog training period, nourishing each pup costs about £1,400.

In addition, high quality nourishment is essential to helping VWD pups thrive. After all, thriving puppies today become tomorrow’s top tier assistance dogs for Veterans and active duty Service Members. And just as importantly, it helps them live long, healthy, and productive lives.

Training Equipment & Materials

It’s a marvel to see our amazing dogs perform tasks. Teaching assistance dogs for Veterans and active duty Service Members to help means training them where people would normally do these tasks.

This can be in home environments or out in public. For all tasks, we go to the right kind of location to work with them. On average, we spend about £500 per dog on training equipment.
