For owners, by an owner
If your dog has just been diagnosed, start here.
We’re Dan & Lizzie, we built Waggle Watch because our dog Luna has epilepsy, and we couldn’t find a single place that explained things plainly without terrifying us. These six guides are what we wish someone had handed us on day one.
We’re Dan & Lizzie ·
Owners of one very loved, very epileptic dog called Luna.
We built this because for months we managed Luna’s epilepsy with scattered notes on our phones, not really knowing what was helping and what was just snake oil, and couldn’t find a single tool that didn’t treat us like a clinical trial.
The articles below are ours; written plainly, checked carefully, and made for people who are scared right now. If something isn’t clear, email us. Really.
