ARK NATURALSGray Muzzle Brain's Best Friend Vet Recommended Soft Chews for Cognitive Issues Associated with Aging, 90 Count Bag

These work great!!! I have a 14 year old YorkiePoo who was showing signs of early doggy dementia. So I bought these to try for her. I read some of the reviews that said it could upset their tummy but I just gave it to her with a little bit of yogurt for probiotics and now I give it to her with her food in the morning. I’d treat it the same as if you’re introducing a new food brand to your fur baby and it shouldn’t upset their stomach. Now she actually asks me for this every morning! I think she genuinely understands or knows that they make her feel better. She has stopped wandering around at night, stopped having accidents at night and the best part is even starting to be interested in playing with her toys again!!! I can’t recommend these vitamins enough! We have had a wonderful experience with them so far!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:My boy had been having some mild cognitive symptoms and also had been having sleep disturbances- like awake during the night. Started him on Senilife to try and decrease the frequency of some of those issues. It worked well and did help with the symptoms. Only problem was the price- about $30 for 30 caps and he was taking 2/day.So started researching for products that would offer the same results. Found Ark Naturals for the Brain, which has the same ingredients as Senilife for half the price. They are working just as well as the name brand. Dosage is based on weight and is listed on the bag. My boy is 30 lbs and I give him 2 chews twice a day. Enthusiastically recommended. Give it a try.

It wasn't easy to tell at first, but now that we are all out it appears that these made a difference. We have a 13 year old half pomeranian half shitzu and he's getting ornery. He used to bark any time he heard anything near the door, but now he barks at any sound and sometimes no sounds. During the time I was feeding him these treats though his barking lessened and we had an easier time feeding him. (Because of the way my mother spoiled him) feeding him is no easy task and takes a ritual that often ends with the dog not eating, but when we were giving him the treats he was eating much easier without having to go through all that we have to go through to sometimes get him to eat. But in the same vein, only myself could feed him the treat. When my mom tried he'd turn his head away. For some reason I can put it in front of him then tap his side and he'll snatch it thinking I'm trying to take it from him. :P

I LOVE these and I am SO happy I found them!! I am about to buy a second bag. My almost 14 year old chihuahua is maybe? showing signs of dementia. He is starting to stir in the night and seems to get confused looking for my voice (looks in the wrong direction, though this could be him going deaf too). He is less interested in toys, and sometimes just not like himself. Overall he is still doing really great, but I’ve wondered if his mind is starting to slip a bit. I came to Amazon to search for something to help and these have been a miracle supplement for him! He is so much more alert, excited, happy, playful, not as confused, etc. I can see his little personality coming back and he’s like the little dog I’ve known for so many years. These worked within days of adding to my pup’s morning vitamins. I will continue to buy and recommend these for as long as my pup lives because I have been SO impressed!!!Seriously, if you are questioning if your senior dog has dementia, or notice they’re just not quite as sharp or like themselves, TRY THESE!!! You will not regret it.

My dog like the flavorI can tell his cognitive state is better after eating these, not a drastic change but better

For a product specifically intended for senior dogs, the distributer (Ark Naturals - no, they don't make these themselves... they "distribute" them) seems to have a different definition of "soft" than the average owner of a senior pet. These are NOT soft. (for whatever it's worth, "soft" is pill-pocket consistency, in my opinion)The ingredients, however, are somewhat comparable to those in senilife, but in a treat form. Much easier to dose. No wondering if you managed to squeeze out all of the supplement. For this reason, and this reason alone, I've started a subscription. With 3 animals in various stages of dementia, senilife just wasn't a realistic solution.Since my crew eat soaked kibble, I've been able to help them out by adding their daily dose to the kibble at the same time I add the moistening liquid (water, bone-broth, whatever), making sure that it doesn't actually sink into the dish. If it does, it becomes a sticky goo that your average senior dog will probably be working at for hours, trying to get it off their dish.

My dog loves these treats! I think they have helped her to remember to use her wee wee pad.

The night my dog started taking this she had bloody diarrhea. I went ahead and gave it to her two more nights. Same thing. Kept waking up in the middle of the night with bloody diarrhea. She just had a check up so I knew nothing was wrong with her. Stopped the medicine, diarrhea went away. If you use this I would start out with a very low dose and see how they react. My other two dogs are on a lower dose and there were no bad side effects with them.
