Double sided? Yes Product: Seizure Alert Dog ID Card Understanding the Role of a Seizure Alert DogA Seizure Alert Dog is trained to support individuals who live with neurological conditions that cause seizures. This includes people with epilepsy, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, Dravet syndrome, non-epileptic attack disorder (NEAD), post-traumatic epilepsy, and other seizure-related disorders. The dog may be trained to alert the person before a seizure begins, to respond during an episode, or to assist with recovery after the event. Some Seizure Alert Dogs sense subtle behavioural or physical changes before a seizure starts and give a warning by pawing, nudging, or barking. Others are taught to stay close to prevent injury during a seizure, fetch emergency medication, activate an alert device, or guide the person to safety once the episode ends. Every Seizure Alert Dog is trained based on the specific medical and physical needs of the individual they assist. What Makes a Seizure Response Dog Different from a Regular Pet?A Seizure Response Dog goes through advanced training to remain calm in public, respond to medical situations, and carry out tasks that match the needs of the person they assist. That might include staying close during a seizure, using body weight to prevent injury, or learning to trigger an alert if the person falls. They are taught to ignore distractions like food, strangers, and loud noises. The goal is to have a steady, reliable dog that can focus on the person they are trained to support. This level of training takes time and consistency. It also means the dog may need to accompany the person into shops, cafés, workplaces, and other everyday spaces. The bond between a Seizure Response Dog and their handler is strong. But the role comes with challenges—especially when other people do not understand what the dog does. That’s where our card becomes helpful. Why a Seizure Alert Dog ID Card Can Help YouOur card clearly explains that the dog is trained to support someone with seizures. It shows the dog’s name, the owner’s name, and includes a photo so others can see that the card belongs to that specific dog. There is a message on the front asking people not to touch, feed, or distract the dog while it is working. The back includes further explanation about the dog’s legal protection and support under the Equality Act 2010. It reminds staff and the public that trained seizure dogs are working animals, not pets. There’s also a signature area for the owner. Carrying our card can reduce confrontation and stop unnecessary questions. Instead of needing to explain the dog’s role, the person can show the card. It gives reassurance to staff, helps avoid misunderstandings, and lets the dog get on with its job without interruption. What the Equality Act 2010 Says About Seizure Alert DogsThe Equality Act 2010 is a UK law that protects disabled people from discrimination. That includes people with conditions like epilepsy who rely on a trained Seizure Alert Dog. Under the Act, service providers must not treat someone unfairly because of their disability. This includes giving them equal access to public places, transport, services, and more. Refusing someone access because of their Seizure Alert Dog is usually unlawful. These dogs are not pets; they carry out essential tasks related to the person’s health. The law does not require an assistance dog to be from a registered charity or specific organisation. What matters is that the dog is trained to assist and behaves safely in public. Our card doesn’t create legal rights—the Equality Act already provides that. But it supports those rights by explaining them in clear terms. It helps staff understand what the dog does and why they should not refuse entry or challenge the person unnecessarily. Real-World Situations Where a Seizure Alert Dog ID Card Makes a DifferenceMany people with a Seizure Alert Dog have experienced confusion when trying to access public places. A shop assistant might say, “Dogs aren’t allowed,” or a bus driver might hesitate to let the person board. Some people get stopped at restaurant doors or in waiting rooms. These situations are stressful, especially for someone who may already be dealing with fatigue or after-effects of a seizure. In those moments, our card can be handed over quietly, without needing to go into detail. It provides instant clarity, reduces tension, and reminds people that the dog is there for medical reasons. Our card can also help discourage strangers from distracting the dog. People often want to say hello, stroke the dog, or offer it food—without realising they are interfering with its ability to do its job. The message on the card helps set that boundary in a polite but clear way. Our card is for anyone in the UK who uses a trained Seizure Alert Dog. It doesn’t matter whether the training was done by a charity, a private organisation, or the owner themselves. What matters is that the dog provides seizure-related support and is able to behave appropriately in public. There’s no legal requirement to carry ID, and no national register exists for seizure dogs in the UK. But many people still choose to carry something that makes the dog’s role clear. That’s exactly what our card is designed for. It’s especially useful for people who feel anxious about being questioned, those who travel a lot, or those who struggle to speak after a seizure. It acts as a visual aid that helps avoid repeated explanations. Our card is credit card-sized and made from biodegradable plastic. It’s durable, environmentally friendly, and easy to carry in your purse, wallet, or bag. It’s designed to be simple and professional, with all the key information someone might need in one place. It shows the dog’s identity and training in a way that’s easy for others to read and understand. The design reflects the needs of real people who rely on seizure dogs and want clear, respectful communication with the public.
