 Dog owners, listen up. The risk for doggy dementia rises 52% every year after the age of 10. Is your dog sleeping excessively throughout the day and suddenly active at weird hours of the night? Have all the years of house training gone out the window? Is your dog having trouble getting around the house? It might be doggy dementia and it affects 14 to 35% of older dogs. But here's the thing, the earlier you catch it, the better the rest of their life will be. Brain stimulation is key. Encourage more physical activities, teach them new tricks and avoid putting them in stressful situations. And if you see any of these signs, take your dog to the vet. The sooner, the better.
