What is Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (CCD)?
Canine cognitive dysfunction, often compared to dementia in humans, affects older dogs, leading to memory loss, confusion, and behaviour changes.
Signs of CCD in Dogs
Symptoms include disorientation, disrupted sleep patterns, increased anxiety, and house soiling. Dogs may also forget familiar commands or appear confused in known environments.
Managing Canine Cognitive Dysfunction
While CCD is not curable, mental stimulation, dietary supplements, and medications can help slow cognitive decline and improve quality of life.
