Please complete this canine senior pet cognitive assessment.

If you’ve noticed changes in multiple behavioral categories, be sure to talk to your veterinarian today about the health of your pet’s aging brain.

Behavioral Signs

Identify signs that have arisen or progressed since 8 years of age and older.

Score as 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe
Social Interactions
Sleep/Wake Cycles
Housesoiling, Learning And Memory
Activity
Anxiety

Once this form is completed, your veterinarian will determine the cause of these signs through a physical examination and recommended diagnostic tests. However, even if your senior pet is experiencing multiple health issues associated with aging, there may be some degree of CDS.
A score of 4-15 is consistent with mild, 16-33 is moderate, and >33 is severe CDS.
