Perhaps you’ve already noticed it. Your senior pup stands in the hallway staring at a wall or forgets which door leads outside. Maybe they pace at night, confused and restless, whining softly as if lost in their own home. It’s heartbreaking, and for many pet parents, it’s the unfortunate first sign of CCD (Canine Cognitive Dysfunction), the dog version of Alzheimer’s. Like humans, senior dogs face age-related brain changes that cause confusion and anxiety. The hardest part? They can’t tell us what’s wrong, and too often, it’s dismissed as “just old age.”
