Heads up OP, while your pet may be naturally prone to epilepsy, seizures or other neurological disorders, it could actually be something in their diet that you might not be aware isn't safe for your pet.
I learned quite a bit about this after the one and only time our dog had a seizure and went doing some research. The day before, a friend of ours casually gave our dog some rather tasty pork, cooked along with onions, garlic and other mystery spices he refused to reveal.
Apparently that was a BIG mistake! Onions and garlic are on the list of dangerous foods for dogs, and around half the list of dangerous foods list side effects such as seizures...

After studying this list and being more careful what he is and isn't allowed to eat, he hasn't had any seizures since then.
Of course, if you're asking about another sort of pet such as a cat or whatever, make sure to do similar research on what is and isn't safe for your pet in particular to eat.
Yeah, my friend's was caused by a flea medicine. Make sure you check everything OP
