What is Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CCDS)?
CCDS is often likened to Alzheimer's disease in humans. It’s a neurodegenerative condition that affects older dogs, leading to symptoms like confusion, disorientation, changes in behavior, disrupted sleep patterns, and more. As our pets age, CCDS becomes an increasingly important topic for veterinarians and pet owners alike.
Unfortunately, CCDS can sometimes be underdiagnosed, and managing its symptoms can be a challenge. That’s where your expertise as a veterinarian comes in! By participating in the survey, you’ll help provide essential data that could lead to better management strategies and improved treatments for dogs suffering from CCDS.

Plus, it’s a great opportunity to contribute to a nationwide effort that will have a lasting impact on geriatric care for dogs everywhere.
