New Sugar Dog Teams

Please welcome a few of our new Sugar Dog teams!

There are Sugar Dog teams from coast to coast in the USA and many more around the world.  Truly, we have clients from California to the New York Islands!  There are Sugar Dogs in Canada, Cayman Islands, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, India, China, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Brazil, US Virgin Islands, Australia and New Zealand.

If your Sugar Dog isn’t featured, please e-mail Paula an updated JPG photo and we’ll add it as soon as possible.  We’re always gathering photos of Sugar Dogs for their own Chapters.

Is your Sugar Dog on Facebook? Mozart Walker is, check him out and ask to be Friends.  for many years, Mozart was our oldest Sugar Dog.  He passed to the Rainbow Bridge at 18 years old and continued to alert his Mom Pat until his last breath.

Thanks!

We’ve had so many new puppies coming in that we can’t keep page up properly.  Please forgive us and feel free to post your own Sugar Dog’s photo on our FaceBook page Sugar-Dogs-International-Inc.

Newest Team Photos:

Hey Friends and Family, this next new team is comprised of 2 Type 2 diabetics and their newest fur baby service dog Scooter!  They are just getting started and are getting lots of exercise, which is just Perfect.  Meet this sweet rescued Mr. Handsome:

Vicky & Mark’s Sugar Dog Scooter is already “on patrol “for high blood sugar.

Please meet Tammy’s diabetic alert dogs, two (2) beautiful West Highland White Terriers:

Tammy’s beautifully groomed Sugar Dogs Stella and PeeWee.  Sweet baby Stella is already alerting to T2D!  PeeWee is a little older and it’s taking him a little longer but we at Sugar Dogs know that we can teach older dogs new tricks cause Malti-Poo “Mozart” alerted when he was 17!  Luv y’all, aunt p

While we don’t have a photo of Dennis and Country or LaDean and Country, he’s a Rhodesian Ridgeback and trained as a medical alert dog for Dennis’s hypertension and mobility, AND for LaDean’s type 2 diabetes.  He’s a great dog.  I’ve seen him personally at work, assisting Dennis with mobility challenges as well.  One dog offering three (3) differing medical assistant services is certainly THRICE BLESSED!  Check out these photos of the breed.

Look at these beautiful red Standard Poodle puppies currently available from StormyMartucci@yahoo.com or see more photos on FB at Ruby Red Standard Poodles.

Stormy is a Sugar Dogs Breeder of Merit.  She and Louie bred “Sugar Dog Kalua” who has been a working diabetic a;ert dog for several years now.  To select your new Sugar Dog, please contact Stormy directly via email:  StormyMartucci@yahoo.com.  One lucky child with autism and anxiety disorder was gifted a puppy in Aug. 2019 and he and his young man recently won a 4H blue ribbon and qualified for District in dog training by early 2020!  See Application forms tab above for further details on applying to join our elite group of Sugar Dogs teams.

Breck’s Sugar Dog Willoughby – What a cutie.

Above is Willoughby after a spa visit.  As she is not a show dog but a working dog, her family opted for a kennel clip.  It’s the most adorable one we’ve ever seen displayed in such a small package.  Willoughby really would fit in a teacup if her family could keep her still long enough for a photo!  Sweet baby!  Love it!  Ladies and Gentlemen:  Sugar Dog Willoughby, about 11 weeks old.

Our newest team as of August 6, 2018 is Breck and his Sugar Dog Willoughby.  Breck is a Type 1 diabetic (T1D) on an insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor.  He and Willoughby are training in and around MA.  With great vet care, proper grooming and obedience, Breck’s Sugar Dog Willoughby isn’t in training, she’s a puppy on a mission!  Our promise is that if the Poodle loves you, it will alert.  Who could resist this precious baby Sugar Dog?

Beautiful beauties at Myrtle Beach!  Gail and her Sugar Dog Izzy are doing so very well with their Sugar Dog team work.  Gail is a diabetic and Izy is her beautiful Sugar Dog!  Congratulations!  And please forgive us for not getting your photo up sooner.

Another great team on the rise is Richard and Kahlua.  Richard is a Type 1 diabetic (T1D) and has problems keeping his blood glucose (BG) under control.  Kahlua is just a puppy here and Richard is starting him out right with obedience training.  We expect great things out of this team.  Kahlua is a standard Poodle puppy, maybe 5 months old in this photo.  He’s been working for several years now as a Beautiful Sugar Dog!  Bred by Stormy & Louie Martucci.
