Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome in Senior Dogs (original) (raw)

Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS) in senior dogs parallels cognitive decline observed in humans, notably Alzheimer's disease. As dogs age, they exhibit behavioral changes perceived by some as normal aging, complicating diagnosis and treatment. This paper explores the implication of antioxidant and mitochondrial cofactor supplementation in potentially alleviating symptoms of CDS, suggesting a need for specific dietary considerations and future studies on neuroprotective compounds to improve cognitive health in aging dogs.
