Many people don’t realize just how life-changing seizure-alert dogs truly are. These dogs are not just companions — they are lifesaving medical partners.

• Early seizure alerts — Many seizure-alert dogs can sense seizures minutes to hours before they happen, giving their handler time to get to a safe place or alert a caregiver

• Prevents serious injuries — Early warnings reduce falls, head injuries, and accidents that can happen when seizures strike without warning

• Life-saving response during seizures — Trained dogs can fetch help, activate emergency systems, or stay with their handler until help arrives

• Reduces risk of SUDEP — By alerting caregivers and staying with their handler, seizure dogs can help prevent life-threatening situations

• 24/7 medical support — Unlike devices or alarms, seizure-alert dogs are always present, even during sleep

• Improves independence — Many people with seizure dogs can attend school, work, and social events with increased confidence and safety

• Emotional and mental health support — Living with epilepsy is isolating; these dogs reduce anxiety, fear, and trauma surrounding seizures

• Peace of mind for families — Parents and caregivers can sleep, work, and live with reassurance knowing someone is always watching

• A literal lifeline — For many families, seizure-alert dogs are the difference between constant fear and real hope

💙 This is why reaching our fundraising goal matters so much. A seizure-alert service dog isn’t a luxury — it’s a medical necessity that can change (and save) a life.
