and found that Cholodin was ef- fective as a sole therapy. Half of the dogs and cats treated with this supplement showed a moderate or significant response within 30 days; another 25 percent of dogs and 20 percent of cats in the study showed at least minimal improvement within a 30-day period. I now prescribe Cholodin for all of my dog and cat patients that are at least 5 years of age, as a preventive measure. In addition to choline and other natural therapies, I believe that it’s important to minimize inflammation in older pets, as well, because mini- mizing inflammation may also help prevent or decrease the incidence of other serious disorders. Because common commercial pet foods can have ingredients that can induce oxidative cell damage and inflam- mation, I recommend feeding pets natural foods devoid of byproducts and chemicals (feeding only wet food to cats).


Other ideas to reduce inflam- mation include minimizing vaccina- tions through the use of antibody titer testing, and minimizing or eliminat- ing the use of chemical flea and tick products. In my experience, using natural therapies, beginning when a pet turns 5 years of age, can actually prevent, and at least minimize, the incidence of cognitive disorder.
