Chewie’s nights used to break my heart. 💔 Pacing. Crying. Staring at the wall like he didn’t know where he was. As a senior dog mom, watching that happen to your baby is one of the hardest things. What we were seeing is called sundowning — a symptom of Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (CCD), which is essentially dementia in dogs. It affects their memory, awareness, and sleep cycles, and it typically gets worse in the evening hours. Most vets don’t bring it up until things are already serious. That’s why I share everything here — because the more we talk about it, the sooner other senior dog parents can get ahead of it. These are the non-negotiables that changed everything for us. 🐾 ✨ Selegiline — prescribed neuroprotective medication that supports dopamine regulation in the aging brain. This was our turning point. 🧠 Dr. Buzby’s Brain Boost MCT Oil — organic MCT oil that provides easily absorbed cognitive fuel. Goes on every meal. 🐟 Welactin Omega-3 — vet-recommended EPA/DHA that supports brain health and reduces neuroinflammation. 📡 Maven Pet Health Tracker — monitors Chewie’s heart rate, respiratory rate, sleep, activity, and itch behavior in real time. Because I need data and real-time alerts, not guesswork. 🦴 Dasuquin Senior — joint support that matters more than people realize. Pain and discomfort amplify nighttime anxiety in CCD dogs. 🏠 Routine & Environment — consistent schedule, nightlights, familiar sleep space, no late disruptions. Structure is medicine. ⚠️ Always consult your veterinarian before adding anything new to your dog’s diet or routine. What works for Chewie may not be appropriate for every dog — your vet knows your pup best.
