I recommend Hills b/d diet and you can give the supplement senilife. It’s specifically for cognitive dysfunction in dogs. Anapril is a prescription drug for cognitive dysfunction that I’ve used on my geriatric dogs with good results. You will need to get this from your veterinarian. I would continue also with the CBD oil. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Koda.
