A seizure response dog (SRD) (also known as seizure dog) is a dog demonstrating specific assisting behaviour during or immediately after a person's epileptic seizure or other seizure. [1] [2] When reliably trained such dogs can serve as service dogs for people with epilepsy. [3]
Tasks for seizure dogs may include, but are not limited to: [4] [5] [6] [7]
A dog demonstrating specific behaviour prior to a person's epileptic seizure is also referred to as seizure alert dog (SAD). [2] [8] [9] Reports suggest that some dogs can be trained to anticipate epileptic seizures. [3] [8] However, this ability has been questioned. [10] [11] [12]
Seizure response and seizure alerting behaviour may spontaneously develop in dogs living with children and adults with epilepsy. [1] [2] [9]
