Canine epilepsy is a very serious ailment for dogs, but it is also one of the most mysterious ones. And most of the causes, symptoms and treatment are still in the research phase. Thousands of dogs around the world experience epilepsy. These dogs and their owners face great turmoil and worrying about the condition and suffering of their best buddies. In short, canine epilepsy is truly one of the greatest controversial neurological diseases in the canine world. Thankfully ongoing research for canine epilepsy treatment is making positive strides forward.
Canine Epilepsy Treatment
The sad fact about the canine epilepsy treatment of today is vets give your dog a specific amount of medication, depending on how severe their condition is. And over time, when the condition worsens, the dosage is also leveled up, until the dog eventually becomes so drugged they begin to develop amnesia about the real world – losing memories and experiences of his or her loved ones. And the worst thing is that most of the epileptic dogs in the world go through the same basic steps to reach this point.
However, there are also the owners of epileptic dogs who try as much as possible to avoid this kind of medication (the pharmaceutical one) and simply deal with the seizures as if they are nothing. But the sad thing is that epilepsy and twitching can really disrupt a dog’s normal life. In fact, some dogs develop injuries related to mobility and muscle coordination, and some just run away and go crazy.
Raw diets have been the best solution that we have for canine epilepsy treatment for a dog’s epileptic symptoms. Some companies have started mass producing raw diets that are especially made for dogs with unique conditions, based on the fact wild dogs were meant to eat raw food to survive in a healthy way. Many dogs that have a change in their diet (switching to raw diet) experience a great decrease on the epileptic syndromes, like the famous dog, Emma. Unlike before, she only experienced 8 seizures between 2000 and 2007 after taking in the raw diet program. Emma is a dog with canine seizure that became the inspiration of creating the website canine-epilepsy.com.

I have been extensively researching this topic for over 12 years and have successfully treated innumerable cases of canine epilepsy with diet changes alone. My Website explains the development and rationale behind my G.A.R.D. (diet), the acronym having two meanings: The Glutamate & Aspartate Restricted Diet and The Gut Absorption Recovery Diet.
I hope this helps,
