Pearls of Veterinary Practice


Therapeutic Options for Cognitive Decline in Senior Pets

Gary Landsberg, DVM, Diplomate ACVB

From the Doncaster Animal Clinic, 99 Henderson Avenue, Thornhill, Ontario, L3T 2K9, Canada.

Many treatment options are now available for pets with age-related cognitive dysfunction, including drugs, nutritional supplements, and diets. This article describes the theory, evidence of efficacy, and potential neuroprotective effects of products used to treat cognitive dysfunction. Cognitive dysfunction is a diagnosis of exclusion, because many painful conditions and health problems may present with similar signs. Practitioners must, therefore, actively question owners of senior pets in order to diagnose cognitive dysfunction and to assess the pet’s general health and well-being.
