What Forrest Actually Uses & What Helps Us the Most!
When you’re caring for a dog with epilepsy, everyday life can feel like a balancing act. Over time, we’ve found a handful of things that make our routine feel a little more manageable — and help Forrest stay as comfortable and calm as possible. From cozy spots for him to rest after a seizure, to tools that help us stay on track with his meds and homemade meals, these little things add up in big ways. Some items bring peace of mind, like a pet camera for when I have to step out, or night lights that keep things calm after dark. Others help us stay organized with his supplements or make meal prep a bit less overwhelming. And then there are the quiet toys and enrichment activities that let him play safely without too much stimulation.
We’ve tried a lot, and not everything has worked, but these are the ones that stuck — the ones that really support us day to day. If you’re navigating life with an epi dog too, I hope this gives you some ideas, or at least lets you know you’re not alone. If you’d like to see exactly what we use, I’ve organized everything into categorized lists on our Amazon storefront — from comfort and safety to feeding tools and enrichment. The link is there if you want to take a look, and just a heads-up: we do earn a small commission if you make a purchase through it, at no extra cost to you. It’s a simple way to support what we’re doing while finding things that might help you and your pup, too.
