    Document: These findings support the use of the 6.5% MCT + BPB supplemented diet for treatment of clinical signs in senior dogs with signs consistent with CDS. Previous epidemiological studies using validated scales have provided very useful information about changes in behaviour and cognitive competence in senior dogs. However, they usually present 3 limitations: 1) they don't include information on the overall health status of the dog, 2) they target a pre-selected population of senior dogs, thus missing information from other age groups with whom comparisons could be made, and 3) behavioural measurements are focused on very specific behaviour changes linked to the ageing process, as opposed to the impact that cognitive impairment could have on overall adaptation and functioning.
