Canine cognitive dysfunction (CCD) is a neurodegenerative disease, likened to Alzheimer's, most commonly seen in dogs over the age of 10 years. CCD is difficult to diagnose and there is no cure, consequently research efforts are focused on maintaining a good quality of life for these dogs for as long as possible. My research focuses on non-pharmacological interventions for the treatment of CCD, and better understanding the experiences of the guardians of affected dogs.

We are currently recruiting for a study into CCD! Please follow this link for more information: https://redcap.link/teachingolddogsnewtricks
