K9 Cognitive & Aging Brain Support
K9 Cognitive & Aging Brain Support
K9 Cognitive & Aging Brain Support is a whole-food herbal formulation designed to support cognitive function, nervous system resilience, and healthy brain aging in dogs. This blend is thoughtfully formulated for senior dogs and dogs experiencing age-related cognitive changes such as mental confusion, restlessness, disrupted sleep–wake cycles, reduced focus, or changes in emotional regulation.
Rather than acting as a sedative or behavior-suppressing formula, K9 Cognitive & Aging Brain Support works by nourishing and supporting the systems that influence cognitive health — including circulation, nervous system signaling, stress regulation, and antioxidant balance. By addressing these systems together, this blend helps support mental clarity, emotional steadiness, and adaptability as dogs age.
This formulation emphasizes gentle circulatory support to promote healthy blood flow to the brain, nervous system nourishment to support neural communication, and adaptive stress support to help reduce the impact of chronic physiological stress on cognitive function. Antioxidant-rich herbs are included to help buffer oxidative stress that naturally increases with age and can contribute to cognitive decline.
K9 Cognitive & Aging Brain Support is designed for daily, long-term use and may be layered alongside foundational and joint-support blends for older dogs with more complex needs. When paired with a species-appropriate diet and consistent routines, this blend helps support quality of life, awareness, and comfort throughout the aging process.
