What is a "seizure-alert dog"?

A seizure-alert dog is a specially trained service dog that provides vital support to individuals with epilepsy or other seizure disorders. These dogs are trained to detect subtle changes in their owner's body odor, behavior, or other cues that may indicate an impending seizure. Once a seizure is detected, the dog is trained to alert their owner or a caregiver, allowing them to take necessary precautions and seek medical help if needed. Seizure-alert dogs play a crucial role in helping individuals with seizure disorders live more independent and safe lives by providing early warning and assistance during episodes.
