Good morning Lisa hope you are well I forgot to say Bryan is right we had a black lab called fizz she was not trained but when I was about to have a seizure I would site on the sofa she wouldn't let me get up she would sit in the middle of my legs as if she knew what was going to happen

If you get in touch with your social worker or even sometimes your neurologist they will be able to tell you the closest place to you to be matched up with an epilepsy dog. When I was offered one, it was my social worker. Unfortunately, due to the fact that I was being taken in and out of hospital so much (& I would have had no one to look after it,) I had to turn it down.

I hope that you are successful in getting one. Good luck 🤞🐕
