Generally, in our area, the wait for a professionally trained dog is quite long (several years), and they are quite expensive. Some of the trainers may have more or less professional experience than others. I agree with Dr. @Benbadis that dogs are very therapeutic from an emotional wellness standpoi...

I recommend getting a dog because it can enhance their quality of life, similar to enjoying a glass of wine or relaxing in a Jacuzzi :-). However, I do not consider it as a medical treatment so it should be at their expense.

In addition to what Dr. @Benbadis wrote, I often provide patients with this link where they can find out more information and access resources to learn more about how to get and train a seizure dog. Reviewed by Kiriakopoulos, Epilepsy Foundation 2019.
