I don't have an answer for a specific ready-made diet. (I cook for my seizure dog, I make the liver cleanse diet by Dr. Jean Dodds) Here is a link Liver cleanse diet
Sometimes a dog can be allergic to a specific ingredient like rosemary (which is sometimes used as a preservative). Rosemary should not be given to seizure dogs.
Is your dog on medication? If your dog takes phenobarbital, you should give him milk thistle to protect the liver. Pheno is harmful to the liver long term. Here is a link about milk thistle. Milk Thistle
By the way, you should join that group on canine-epilepsy.com It is a wonderful group of dog owners who have dogs with seizures. Many very knowledgeable people there from around the world. You could ask about diet there.
Have you had your dog's thyroid checked? Thyroid problems can cause seizures and not all vets know this...My dog's seizures got a lot better since he started on thyroid meds.
