Treatment
The treatment of dementia in animals consists of 2 things: changing the diet and adjusting the handling of the animal. Unfortunately, it is not possible to cure CDS, but you can make the end of your animal’s life as pleasant as possible. Starting with changing their diet.
Providing proper nutrition to a demented animal is extremely important. For example, you will be able to find special dementia food for dogs that contains more omega-3 fat acids and antioxidants. Vets also recommend giving your pet a supplement. There is no special dementia diet for cats (yet), but it seems that the diets for osteoarthritis can have a positive effect on the disease’s course. Dietary supplements are also recommended for cats.
Adjustments in the handling of your animal are also very important. Read more about this on the next page!
