Seizure Response Dogs

Seizure alert service dogs play a crucial role in the lives of individuals with epilepsy or seizure disorders. These specially trained animals have the ability to sense an impending seizure, often allowing their owners to prepare for the situation ahead of time. During an active seizure, the dog can provide safety by laying between the person and hard surfaces, reducing the risk of injury. Their training may also include fetching medications or alerting others for assistance. Utilizing adaptive technology, these dogs can contact emergency services or family members if necessary. Once the seizure has passed, they may bring water and food, helping the individual recover.The bond between a seizure alert dog and their handler is invaluable, creating a sense of security and independence for those living with seizure disorders.
