Similar to humans, senior dogs can develop cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CDS), often referred to as doggy dementia. Symptoms include disorientation, altered sleep-wake cycles (barking at night), house-soiling, and changes in interaction. It's important to rule out other medical conditions like vision impairment, hearing loss, or pain. A vet can conduct an assessment and discuss management strategies, including diet, supplements, and medication to improve quality of life.
