We have considered a seizure dog
We've considered the same, however I have two cats (that my wife hates) and she won't get another animal until I get rid of the cats.
Due to my religious beliefs, I'm unable to get rid of the cats, since by adopting them, I've committed to a life-long thing.
I know that they are training seizure dogs, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that the ability to detect seizures appears to be something the dog is born with.

Yes, I’m not sure how they would train them for detection, but at the least they would know to go get someone if they had a seizure.
And for some reason this scene just popped into my head
“What’s the matter Lassie? Is little Billy having a seizure? By the well? In old man Johnson’s farm? 4.2 miles up the road?”
Sorry.
