Epilepsy affects both people and dogs. Like people, dogs can develop epilepsy naturally and experience recurring seizures. Studying epilepsy in dogs can help researchers better understand the condition and evaluate new approaches to diagnosis and treatment, with the potential to benefit both human and veterinary medicine. Research involving dogs has contributed to the development of medications and other approaches used to control seizures.
