Is an Epilepsy Alert Dog For You?
Nov 28, 2023 Season 4 Episode 2
Franziska Thomas

There are some things that don't work with Epilepsy....hangovers, babies and hyperactive puppies who tear your house apart, crunch ice cubes and gnaw on your new cupboards. You need to really want a dog if you have Epilepsy because there are going to be some days you can barely move and your dog still needs to be walked. Are you ready for that? We considered  getting a dog for years, then decided on 'no' and promptly got the dog a few weeks later.  Don't ask!

This podcast takes you through the early days, the destruction, and the beginning of on-going training. Do we regret it? You'll have to listen and see. 

Surviving an Epilepsy Alert Dog...yes, no, maybe? You though every day was chaos with the dog, now wait until you have fits and a four-legged friend
