Team

A multidisciplinary, focused and commited team
Team

We believe together we can make a difference in the life of people with diabetes, their families and in the life of these animals taking them to a higher level above being a simple pet.

Altruism and motivation characterize our team, and it comes from an high  coesionof a group of people around two causes.

We want to give our simple contribution to help lower the rate of abandonment of animals in Portugal and simultaneously contribute to a better quality of life of people with diabetes through a better control, including the stimulus to practice physical exercise, a more frequent monitorization of glicemia values and an easier social inclusion.

In all these aspects we believe the dog is a positive influence.
