In a noteworthy step toward strengthening defence–research collaboration, the Remount Veterinary Corps (RVC) Centre and College in Meerut Cantonment recently hosted a lecture that cast new light on the future of military working dogs. Randhir Singh, a scientist from Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Ludhiana, was invited to speak on innovative methods for predicting the long-term success and health of canine soldiers.
Addressing an audience of officers and specialists, Singh explored how emerging technologies are reshaping the way military dogs are evaluated and trained. He outlined the growing role of behavioural assessment tools, wearable activity sensors, hormone-based stress indicators, cytokine analysis and machine-learning models in identifying promising service dogs at an early age. His forward-looking presentation drew strong interest from RVC personnel, who engaged actively with the ideas and their potential applications in field conditions.
A major focus of Singh’s talk was preventive healthcare. He stressed that early detection of conditions such as pancreatitis, kidney disorders, hip dysplasia and osteoarthritis can dramatically improve the operational longevity and readiness of military dogs. Continuous scientific monitoring, he noted, not only enhances performance but also enables more efficient allocation of training resources.
Singh also delved into the complexities of critical-care decision-making, offering a detailed explanation of when dialysis becomes necessary, how to design effective treatment workflows, and the value of real-time clinical responses. His session underscored the expanding intersection of veterinary science and national defence—an area increasingly vital to safeguarding the well-being of the country’s four-legged frontline partners.
