Navigating life with a seizure dog can be challenging, devastating, and full of anxiety and stress. I know because Alfie experiences seizures. A lot of seizures.

Our life revolves around Alfie because we need to be with him 24/7 - just in case he gets a seizure or other neurological challenges. Plus, he needs his medication. It’s a big responsibility to give to anyone else. But we love him and we learn a lot.

I am not a vet, neurologist or behaviourist, so any information here is our experience, my own contemplations (at this moment), and I hope it can offer some support. I know, many of the connections I’ve made online, especially via Alfie’s Instagram account, have been truly supportive. My yoga practice and the spiritual side of yoga as well as my interest in science-based evidence, are what are guiding my writings here. It’s also what has informed the online course Yoga, Movement & Calm for Dog Parents.
