MediK9USA - Service K9 Medic Kits

MediK9USA was started by a veterinarian, Paul Fedyniak, during his fourth year of veterinary school at the University of Illinois. MediK9USA was registered as an official not-for-profit, corporation on July 5th, 2018. 

Starting in 2018, Illinois Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Paramedics may transport a police K9 injured in the line of duty to a veterinary clinic or similar facility if there are no persons requiring medical attention or transport at that time. Illinois, Mississippi, and New York are the only states that currently allow transportation of police K9s in EMS ambulancs. 

Some paramedic received training on how to handle the police K9s, but are in need of medical equipment specific to canines. One of the places the EMS are obtaining this training is through the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine.

MediK9USA NFP INC is currently creating training resources for EMS and Police K9 handers so that they can properly stabilize police K9s for transport to an Veterinary ER. In addition to creating hands-on classes and guides, MediK9USA donates medical kits to handlers and paramedics for these police K9s. 

MediK9USA has an online store in which fundraising items and medical kits can be purchased. 100% of the profits go back into MediK9USA so that we can continue to donate our kits.
