Episode 55 – Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome – Does Doggie Dementia Exist?

I love talking about senior pets and this is definitely a topic close to my heart!

As our pets age, their behaviours may change, and we need to understand what the causes of those behaviour changes may be.

Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome is a neurodegenerative disease, which sadly cannot be cured, but can be treated to slow its progression and, in this episode, I chat to you about what you can do to achieve this.

In this episode I talk about:

1.      How many dogs are affected by Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome

2.      What the expected behaviour changes look like – the DISHAA scale

3.      What changes occur in the brain

4.      What medications, supplements and diets can help slow down progression

5.      How environmental management, enrichment and mental stimulation can help
