Do you have epilepsy and are considering whether an assistance dog would make your everyday life easier?
How can an epilepsy alert dog provide support?
Every person experiences epilepsy differently – that’s why your assistance dog is trained together with you, precisely to your needs. A well-trained assistance dog can recognise an impending seizure. It alerts you through a previously learned behaviour, such as nudging with its nose. This gives you the opportunity to take appropriate measures.
Your dog can learn to stay close during a seizure. With its assistance dog vest, it signals to others that there is a medical issue. This helps, for example, bystanders to assess the situation correctly and respond appropriately.
Do you want your dog to press an emergency button or fetch help at home or at work if you are no longer able to respond? We can also train the dog to do this together with you.
Epilepsy assistance dogs enable their owners to have more mobility, independence, and autonomy in life. Your certified assistance dog is allowed to accompany you to many places, such as grocery stores or restaurants.
