When your senior dog starts pacing at night, getting “stuck” in corners, or forgetting familiar routines, it isn’t stubbornness—it can be Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (CCD). Living With Dog Dementia gives you a calm, practical roadmap to stabilize daily life without false promises or hype. You’ll learn what CCD is (and isn’t), how diagnosis typically works in the U.S., which treatments have evidence, and how to set up a predictable home that lowers anxiety and supports sleep. Chapters cover night pacing and sundowning, safer walks and transport, enrichment that soothes instead of overstimulates, medication and supplement trials that actually teach you something, caregiver burnout, and a realistic path for tough decisions. The book closes with a simple 30-day home program you can actually run. Inside you’ll find: A step-by-step framework to recognize patterns (D-I-S-H-A) and track change at home - U.S.-focused guidance on diagnosis, meds, nutrition, and sleep routines - Behavior strategies for anxiety, vocalization, and evening agitation - Mobility, safety, and home equipment that remove friction for seniors - Two weekly blueprints and a 30-day plan that stick in real life No miracle cures. Just evidence, clarity, and kind routines that make nights shorter and days quieter—for both of you.
