In recent years dogs have lived longer because of advancements made veterinarian medical care.
These older senior dogs are at risk for developing cognitive dysfunction syndrome (also called canine Alzheimer's).

If your dog is diagnosed with Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome, canine health medications such as Anipryl®
can help slow its progression and improve some symptoms.
Also, be sure to avoid changing your dog's environment, such as rearranging the furniture, and stick to your dog's routine
to minimize any disorientation and/or forgetfulness.
