2 NOV 2023 · It is important to understand that as Alzheimer’s disease continues to destroy memory and mental skills, it also begins to alter emotions and behaviors. Approximately 70 to 90 percent of Alzheimer’s patients eventually develop behavioral symptoms; therefore, Lisa can't emphasize enough the importance of being able to recognize these behavioral symptoms and what might have triggered them.
Agitation is one of the most common behaviors seen with dementia and can be displayed in a variety of ways, including restlessness, pacing, fear, and/ or changes in body language or facial expressions. Agitation can also easily escalate to aggression if not responded to appropriately.

26 OCT 2023 · In today's episode, Lisa narrates her very personal story about her beloved dog, Oliver, who was diagnosed with Doggie Dementia when he was about 13 years old. Yes, unbeknownst to Lisa at the time, dogs actually do develop dementia, just like humans. She started noticing some very peculiar behaviors in her dog, but at first, not knowing that dogs really do get dementia, she thought that maybe she was just reading into the signs and symptoms that he started displaying that reminded her of humans who lived with Alzheimer's disease and dementia. At first, she dismissed it as a coincidence because she had been working with humans living with dementia for so long. But his peculiar behaviors continued, so she took him to the vet, who diagnosed him with doggie dementia, or Canine Cognitive Dysfunction, which is synonymous with Alzheimer's disease in humans. Lisa shares with her audience the signs and symptoms to look out for in case you suspect that your dog might have dementia. It is estimated that 68% of dogs will suffer from dementia by the age of 15!
