Cataracts, a common condition in humans, can also affect our furry companions.

Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CCD or CDS), sometimes referred to as 'doggy dementia', is a neurodegenerative condition that commonly affects aging dogs. Just like humans, dogs can experience cognitive decline as they get older. While there is no cure for CCD, there are options available to manage the condition and improve the quality of life for affected dogs.
Just like humans, dogs can experience anxiety and nervousness. Nervous behaviour can come from internal anxieties or external stressors. Understanding the causes behind their issues and identifying the associated behaviors can help us provide the right solutions.
