Overview
Canine dementia, also known as canine cognitive dysfunction (CCD), is a condition where a dog’s brain does not function as well as it used to.
Dementia is diagnosed according to behaviour rather than clinical tests, although certain tests may be performed in order to rule out other potential causes of symptoms.
Canine dementia is common as dogs grow older, and the condition is manageable, but it often goes undiagnosed.
