TDA Research and Mantel Technologies Announce the Launch of TDA'S Canine Decontamination Kit

TDA Research, a leading research and development firm, and Mantel Technologies, a leader in innovative product development and delivery, announce the launch of TDA's Canine Decontamination Kit. The kit, which was developed under sponsorship from the US DOD, provides handlers and other professionals with the tools to remove unwanted materials, including highly toxic chemical warfare agents, from a canine's fur to prevent deleterious interactions and spread. The kit is highly effective under field conditions, at the point of contamination, without logistic support such as power, water or equipment. This new product supports safety and survivability of both working dogs and the humans they support.

TDA Research has had an active chem-bio defense research and development effort for the past 30 years. TDA researchers have developed products, published papers, and books, to help protect the warfighter from these harmful materials. We had a great experience developing the materials and methods in the laboratory, then working with other scientist, veterinarians, handlers, trainers, and canines to refine and validate the decontamination kit," said Brian France, Ph.D., Principal Investigator at TDA Research.

Mantel Technologies, a leader in innovative product development and delivery, is excited to announce an agreement with TDA to serve as the exclusive worldwide distributor of the product.

"Mantel has been developing point-of-need products to support the readiness, health and well-being of working dogs since 2017 and TDA's canine decontamination kit is a natural fit in our products portfolio. The kit addresses a critical need for both the canine and their human teammates to ensure contaminants encountered in the field are managed and do not have a lasting effect on their health and quality of life." said Mike Cushman, President & CEO at Mantel Technologies.

The kit is offered in two variants dependent upon the use scenario. Each kit is comprised of a set of wipes proven to be effective, show no irritation and to be non-toxic to canines and humans. A training kit option is available to support team training and field readiness.

Canine Decontamination Kits are now available for purchase through Mantel Technologies. For more information, please contact  or call (720) 310-5609.
