Why COVID-19?
Great economic impacts across all sectors
Limited number of vaccines available
The virus is mutating so vaccines, may be limited in their scope
Fear of unseen virus and the steps being taken to guard against it are highly disruptive
It is perceived that providing a way to detect possible virus carriers quickly, reliable and non-invasively is an invaluable path for government and commerce to continue.
Bio-K9’s Dogs
Bio-K9 has an extensive breeding program that is focused on breeding the best quality scent detection dogs in the field. The US Department of Agriculture is one of BioScent’s customers for scent detection dogs.
Bio-K9 predominantly uses Beagles, with a keen sense of smell, eagerness to work, and friendly disposition, beagles are the perfect breed for the job.
Bio-K9 currently has 64 dogs in training.
