Abstract
The prevalence of chronic diseases in dogs has been increasing due to their longer life spans. One of the diseases developing with age is Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (CCD) and it is a neurodegenerative disease that affects geriatric dogs. In dogs with cognitive dysfunction, behavioral changes such as anxiety, alterations in sleep patterns, and house soiling can be observed. The treatment protocols used for Canine Cognitive Dysfunction focus on alleviating the symptoms of the disease. Since this dysfunction cannot be cured, in addition to medications, lifestyle changes and dietary interventions are used to manage the symptoms. Herbal compounds frequently used in CCD have been the topic of recent studies. This review article presents the herbal compounds that can be used in dogs with CCD and summarizes the findings from studies on these supplements.
