In today’s episode, we sit down with KC Owens to discuss her work as a dog breeder for the T1 diabetes community. As the founder of Tattle Tail Scent Dogs, KC is on a mission to produce highly trainable, healthy puppies that can excel as service/therapy dogs, working dogs, and companions. Driven by their motto, “Where a dog’s nose saves a life and embraces a heart,” Tattle Tail Scent Dogs have helped countless individuals and families with Diabetic Alert Dogs – and KC joins us to share her personal journey and the impact of her work.…

KC has faced autoimmune issues for much of her life and was officially diagnosed with diabetes in 2000. Despite her best efforts—changing her diet, increasing exercise, and taking medications—nothing seemed to work. However, she noticed a significant improvement when her dog began to recognize her high and low blood glucose levels. This discovery led her to become a niche dog trainer, helping others manage the challenges of diabetes through the unique abilities of their dogs.
