SEGMINISMART CEVA Animal Health D59010B Senilife Nutritional Supplement for Elderly Dogs- 30 capsules/ box

Product seems to help our 16 year old Pekingese mix. We have been using this product for well over a year for our old dog who has CCD/dementia. At first, I was not sure if it was helping or not, but after running out, we definitely saw a difference in his behavior without it. On this product, he has less pacing/getting lost/confusion and anxiety. He is a picky dog, and will not take pills, so I do end up twisting open the pill and squeezing the contents on his food, but he seems to be okay with the taste. He seems more relaxed and less confused while taking this supplement. This was the first supplement we tried for him, and as the disease progresses, he has needed additional medications/supplements, but with consistent use this decreases the other products we have to use. It is a little costly, but it definitely works.

I started giving this to Micky, my 13 year old Border terrier, about 2 weeks ago. He hasn't shown any signs of CCD but since he's been on this I've noticed that he has been sleeping less during the day and spending more time out on the deck and in the yard. He's also been wanting to play ball much more often, something that he has always been passionate about. His older brother, Charlie, did have CCD, something I didn't recognize until he had had it for awhile. I blamed his behavior on cataracts. Restlessness, anxiety, getting stuck in corners. I had never heard of Canine Cognitive Disorder until then and I've had dogs since I was 6. I'm 72 now so I guess I've been lucky. I've had a lot of dogs. Once the vet diagnosed Charlie I started doing research and found Senilife and decided to give it a try. The results were amazing. It gave me my dog back. He lived another 2 years and did well until the very end. I had him for 16 wonderful years. Maybe it would have been longer had I started this sooner, before he started showing so many signs of CCD. So don't wait like I did.

I discovered Senilife when my whippet was diagnosed with Canine Cognitive Disorder (CCD). I Tried it and was amazed at the difference she displayed. Unfortunately she also had cancer and we lost her about a year and a half later. The only thing I didn't like about Senilife was the capsules it came in. I'm assuming they intend you to administer it just like your would a pill but my whippet was HORRIBLE, nearly impossible to give pills to. So I had no choice but to cut the capsule open and squeeze it out in her food. Fast forward 3 years and I've rescued a senior Chihuahua. I immediately bought a bottle of Senilife to start him on it and was SO disappointed to find that they are still using those difficult capsules. Once again I'm finding myself cutting one open every morning and squeezing it out into his breakfast. It's messy and time consuming and extremely difficult to get it all out of that awful red capsule. I really wish that CEVA Animal health would find a better way to administer. I still think the actual product is great but for those of us who have small dogs or dogs who don't take pills easily it's a real pain. I'm actually going to discuss with my Vet and ask if he's aware of another product that will provide the same results but in an easier form.

My weenie dog is 16, fresh out of a cast, and seemed to be down on life. At a yearly vet check, a new vet mentioned using this for her senior dog and it had really improved. I thought it cant hurt so were about a week in and my doggy who 2 weeks ago wandering behind me lost confused and crying- is back to wanting his snacks, tearing up paper, and being a little rascal. I know his time is drawing shorter but this is much better than his confused demeanor of a few weeks ago. I do give it to him at night with his last meal and he seems to fall asleep soon after.

My 13 year old Shichon began showing Sundowners Syndrome right before the holidays. He was panting, pacing, and acting confused at night, unable to get settled. I read about this product and all the reviews online and immediately ordered it hoping for some relief. I gave this product to him for about a week but quit as it wasn't doing anything other than making him more manic during the day and still restless at night. I was really hoping that it would help to alleviate his symptoms. Since then I have been using Selegiline and it has been effective in addressing his night time issues. He is now more alert and awake during the day. I pair it with Chill Paws organic full spectrum hemp oil and he sleeps through the night again! Best of luck to you and I hope your pooch finds some relief because it can be really heartbreaking to watch them struggle through this.

FIX FOR HARD SHELL - If your capsules are hard and brittle when but - this is how you fix them. Put them in a baggie with some bread. In a few hours the capsule becomes soft. These are a good product, only the last 3 boxes were bad. Whatever happened almost sent us to something else. The customer service person suggested this, and it worked.

This was recommended by my Border Collie’s veterinarian when he started showing signs of sun downers and doggie dementia. Within days of giving him this medication he showed drastic improvement. I just clip off the top of the tablet and squirt the liquid into his breakfast and he’s good for the day. It isn’t a “cure” but he has more good days than bad (he’s turning 13 soon). The medication is an affordable way to spend more time with my very much loved dog and ease his anxiety.

This has made an incredible difference in our dog’s life. Our Aussie is 12 and started showing her age after ACL surgery. We sad signs of dementia; barking at night, standing by the wall, crying at bedtime. We read that the crying at bedtime could be them thinking they might not get fed again so we rolled with that. We give our pup 1/2 scoop with breakfast and dinner. We call it gravy and she snarfs it. Then at bedtime for her “midnight snack” we give her the smallest amount of kibble with a dash of “gravy”. I don’t know what makes it work, the midnight snack or the gravy but she’s a different dog. She acts like she’s 5 again. She runs around, hops all excited. Sleeps through the night, no crying. She moves like a young dog, no more stiff joints or limping. Doesn’t go to the wall at all and barks only at normal dog stuff. Completely changed. The only change we made was to add this. Since then, we’ve added fish oil to her dinner. But I hope if you are reading this that you give it a try and I hope it works as well for you as it dog for us.
