Dogs are known to provide emotional support. On top of that, they can also be trained for more specific tasks. Examples of these tasks are detecting abnormal insulin balance in a person’s body or recognizing the start of a seizure. Because of these extensive training that the canines undergo, a high price must also be paid.

The placement fee for the service dog is $17,000 alone and the cost for training ranges from $40,000 to $60,000. This makes it difficult for families to obtain service dogs even when they need them. Yet, 4 Paws for Ability (provider of the task-trained dogs) helps families with their fundraisings to make it happen.
