 Dogs & Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome Similar To Dementia I thought this article was very interesting. To be honest, I didn't know that dogs could have a dementia-like illness. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/16893480/ns/h ... WNLTaXhAzU

Re: Dogs & Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome Similar To Dementi That is interesting. I knew dogs could become 'senile' in old age but didn't know it was on the increase.

Re: Dogs & Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome Similar To Dementi Really makes you think about the air we breathe, the toxins in our food and health & beauty products, what's going into our water supply, etc.! It's frightening.
