Note: Attendees will also receive a FREE copy of Eileen’s current ebook on CCD as well as a copy of the second edition when it comes out via their webinar library.

Canine cognitive dysfunction is a tough disease. It sneaks up on our dogs in the guise of normal aging—then we realize that something may be really wrong. As symptoms progress, we can feel that we are losing our dogs before they ever pass away.

But many dogs with CCD can still live enriched lives. Some can profit from medical treatment. There is no cure, but early recognition of the disease can give owners better tools to help their dogs and themselves.

Eileen will discuss the disease, its prevalence, and currently known risk factors. She’ll draw from her own experience and many years in the CCD community to provide information on changing the dog’s environment—and the owner’s mindset—to better cope with the disease.

Finally, she will provide resources on euthanasia and grief. These topics loom large for any guardian of a dog with CCD. This always painful decision can be even more difficult for people when the dog involved is mentally deteriorating but physically healthy.

Advanced canine cognitive dysfunction is rarely short of devastating. But there are things we can do to feel less alone in our situation and to help our dogs on this journey.
