The Pentagon’s watchdog has reported that US military working dogs died as some were housed in kennels that deteriorated to poor conditions. The investigation found safety and welfare concerns that contributed to the dogs’ health issues and deaths, highlighting deficiencies in kenneling, maintenance, and veterinary oversight in the reviewed facilities.

The watchdog emphasized that several dogs became ill or died due to factors linked to the substandard kenneling environment, raising questions about compliance with animal welfare and military protocols. The report calls for corrective actions to improve facility conditions, monitoring, and accountability to prevent similar incidents in the future.
