[quote=Anonymous]Dementia happens in stages in dogs as in people, and with mild cognitive decline it is common for elder humans to feel agitated and uncomfortable in less than familiar surroundings including ones they’ve visited before but not regularly. And late in the day the sun downing effect exacerbates these mood dysregulations. So yeah, a 14 year old dog likely has some mild cognitive decline and what you’ve described is just a manifestation of your dog’s declining ability to roll with the punches of visiting away from home and feeling confident and settled in less than familiar surroundings. Just love him extra and give him grace. [/quote]
