Key Benefits

Prescription Diet Brain Care + j/d Rice & Turkey Wet Dog Food is clinical nutrition for dogs with cognitive dysfunction and compromised mobility. As dogs age, many may begin to display undesirable behaviors such as house soiling, disrupted sleep patterns, forgetfulness, and even a decrease in social interaction. These behavior changes are often surprising and unnerving to their owners.

Recommending the right nutrition early and feeding it consistently can help minimize behaviors associated with Canine Cognitive Dysfunction.
