Thanks, Margaret.
I've looked into the idea briefly and discussed this with the client, but they have three dogs already in the household and that's a no-no when introducing a seizure alert dog. There's got to be time and quiet for the bond between the dog and client to form. Otherwise it would be perfect!
Cheers,
Aidan.

I suppose this is not much help for what you're trying to support but has anyone had any experience with seizure-alert dogs?
