Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (CCD) can be a confronting part of ageing — subtle at first, then gradually affecting behaviour, routines, and a dog’s sense of familiarity and comfort.
Your Guide to Understanding and Managing Canine Cognitive Dysfunction is an evidence-informed, owner-friendly resource designed to help dog owners better understand cognitive change in ageing dogs and feel more confident supporting their dog’s comfort, wellbeing, and quality of life.
This guide explains what canine cognitive dysfunction is, how it may affect behaviour and daily functioning, and why early recognition and supportive strategies are important. Rather than overwhelming you with technical detail, it focuses on practical considerations that can help create a calmer, safer, and more predictable environment for senior dogs.
Written in clear, compassionate language, this resource explores supportive management principles, lifestyle considerations, and the importance of routine, environmental support, and mental engagement as part of a holistic approach to ageing well.
This guide forms part of the Water Walkies Education Guides — a collection of evidence-informed resources created to support informed, confident care decisions for dogs at all life stages.
For dogs requiring additional support, this guide may be used alongside a professional assessment through our Integrated Wellness Pathway, or paired with Seniors and Arthritis Management to support overall comfort and mobility in the ageing dog.
