Dealing with a demented animal
Unfortunately, your demented pet is no longer as sharp as it used to be. You will have to give the animal a lot of attention and be patient. With dogs, it is best to combine commands with gestures to make it extra clear for your elderly animal what you are asking of them.
Keeping the animal active is also very important. Even though your pet has less desire to play or exercise, this is crucial. Too much change is also out of the question. For example, it is not a good idea to move places if your pet has dementia. Your current home may even become too big for the pet, and you may need to close off a room or part of it to prevent your pet from getting lost or disoriented.
