Handlers and their partners deserve the best gear and accessories to keep them safe and ready for the job. Whether it’s efficient K9 transportation devices, effective K9 training, durable kennels, protective devices or flexible training suits, companies are making sure to produce products that meet the needs of you and your K9 partner. Here are the latest K9-specific products and accessories.
The K9 Heat Alarm Pro System protects your K9 partner by monitoring for any unsafe increase or decrease in the cruiser's interior average temperature. It also monitors the battery voltage and engine in case it stalls. The handler is alerted of an alarm by the horn and siren honking S-O-S, the police light bar activating and the rear windows rolling down. Other alert options include activation of a remote beeper or cell phone, large cooling fan and engine start. The system comes with a two-year parts and labor warranty and a self-diagnostic feature.
