Herbsmith Senior Dog Wisdom – Cognitive Support for Senior Dogs – 60 Chews

Understanding Canine Cognitive Dysfunction

As dogs get older, many owners notice changes in behaviour and cognition, much like dementia in humans. This condition, known as Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (CCD), can cause confusion, restlessness, sleep disruption and disorientation. While there's no , nutritional support may help manage symptoms and slow the progression. Herbsmith Senior Dog Wisdom is formulated to give your dog the building blocks for a healthy, ageing brain.

Support Your Senior Dog’s Cognitive Health

It's not uncommon for older dogs to become confused or restless. They might get stuck in corners, stare into space, or pace at night. Herbsmith Senior Dog Wisdom is a vet-developed supplement designed to support your senior dog's brain health. By providing key phytonutrients and DHA, this formula may help maintain mental clarity and support a happy, active life in their golden years.

Key Ingredients That Support Brain Function

• L-Carnitine – An amino acid important for energy metabolism in brain cells.
• Alpha Lipoic Acid – A powerful antioxidant that may protect brain cells from oxidative stress.
• DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) – An omega-3 fatty acid essential for brain structure and function, especially in older dogs.
• Ginkgo Biloba – An herb traditionally used to support circulation and cognitive health.
• Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) – Help maintain muscle and energy, which indirectly benefits cognitive function.

Each ingredient works synergistically to nourish the ageing brain.

How to Help Ease Confusion and Restlessness

Doggy dementia often shows up as disorientation. Your dog may look lost in familiar places or become restless at night. Senior Dog Wisdom targets these symptoms by supporting normal wake/sleep cycles and reducing night-time pacing. Many owners see their dog return to a calmer, more content demeanour after consistent use.
