Anipryl® - Help for senior dogs and cats with dementia or cognitive dysfunction?

Also....Hill's Science Diet makes B/D which is also for aging dogs. I know a lot of people don't like Hill's and I don't like many of their products, BUT I do know that some of them do work! They do a lot of research on their products. Don't know that it would hurt to try it.

b/dŽ Canine Aging & Alertness - Dry
My vet had Maya on the Anipryl and it really did help with her Cushing's and dementia. It was 2.00 a pill and Maya was 10-11 lbs. It may be cheaper for a lower dose. I know the Atopica Cali is on for her allergies is also 2.00 a pill
with no generic and my vet said for large dogs it is very expensive. Maya did improve quickly with both conditions. I hope Alexander will have great results.
