The Operational K9 Medical Team of Wisconsin was founded in 2020 to provide education and support to law enforcement officers and other first responders assisting operational K9s wounded in the line of duty.
Through collaboration with the multiple agencies that support community safety, we aim to be the leading resource for point of injury care of wounded operational K9s throughout the state of Wisconsin.
“In-the-field treatment absolutely does work and point-of-injury care saves these dogs’ lives. We just have to keep getting this training out to handlers.”
– Lyn Schuh, Co-Founder & Operations Director
