GreatWell worth the money. Do all they say. My two older dogs are more alert and seem happier.
-
Worth every pennyAdvised to try by our vet....& for our dog it’s certainly been worthwhile. My 15+ year old collie now happier, more alert & calm. Obviously not the panacea for all but certainly been a positive move for us. Noticed the effects within a couple of weeks so purchasing a one month supply may well be beneficial initially.

Has helped my little terrierMy Border Terrier/Jack Russell cross, was diagnosed with canine dementia just over a year ago. My vet recommended this product to me. He has one tablet every morning, he thinks it’s a treat, and it has made quite a difference in his behaviour. He has stopped going to the wrong side of the door to go out, his standing and staring into nothing is now less frequent and his other symptoms are no where near as severe.

We have seen such a differenceWe have a 12 year GSD and around 2 years ago, she became more anxious and noise sensitive and displaying some worrying behaviours such as hiding when she heard bleeps or standing facing the wall. It was heartbreaking. We researched and found it could be general noise sensitivity or the beginning of dementia. We started her on these, not expecting much of a change but we are astounded at the difference in her, she can still react to certain sounds but it is far less of a reaction and the other behaviours have stopped . She is back to being the dog we know and we know that every day is precious with her but these have kept her quality of life and she is loving life again.

Probably worth a tryThe vet suggested trying these for a couple of months to see if they help - she feels my dog likely has early onset dementia arising out of her underlying health condition and sensory impairments. I don't have any trouble giving the sizeable tablets to her in her meals (polyphagia has some advantages!); However, I wouldn't say we are getting definite improvements. We gave it two months as recommended, had a month off and tried again to compare. Very expensive for long term use, especially given it is a food supplement rather than a drug, so given the lack of clear benefits in our case, I think our money is better spent on other things.
