In a remarkable case that highlights the dedication of veterinary professionals, a courageous police dog injured in the line of duty received expert care and support. The K9 officer was wounded in a shooting incident and was promptly taken to Doubletree Animal Hospital in Little Rock, AR, where Dr. Cliff Peck led the veterinary team in providing specialized care.
The injured K9 underwent intensive veterinary attention, ensuring the best possible support for its recovery. Dr. Peck made a clinical decision to exclusively use AlphaFlo®, an acellular canine tissue allograft, as part of the K9’s veterinary care plan. AlphaFlo® is used by veterinarians to supplement and protect canine tissues, offering a ready-to-use, standardized option without the variability associated with autologous therapies.
After careful monitoring and dedicated post-procedural support, the police dog was well enough to be released and continue its recovery at home. Within a month, the images illustrate the observed progression of tissue support. The first image, taken on June 27, shows the extent of the injury, while the second image, taken on July 29, highlights the incredible progress in healing. According to reports, the K9 is doing great—acting as if nothing ever happened. This case underscores the critical role that advanced veterinary solutions and expert care play in supporting working dogs.
At AlphaFlo®, we recognize the invaluable service that police dogs provide to their communities, and we are honored to support veterinarians in their mission to provide high-quality canine care. We commend Dr. Cliff Peck and the team at Doubletree Animal Hospital for their expertise and commitment to animal health.
