Dorwest Brain Copa
Dorwest's BrainCopa®’s unique and powerful formulation, based on scientific research and traditional medicine, provides targeted multi-action support – promoting normal brain and mental function to help keep your pet’s mind agile.
This can be especially useful in older pets experiencing cognitive decline and associated symptoms, such as memory loss, restlessness, agitation, disorientation, altered behaviour and sleep, and house-soiling, where BrainCopa® enables your pet to better cope with these changes.
As your pet ages, changes occur across their body - their coat may start to grey, their joints may become stiff, their hearing and sight may worsen, and their cognitive function may decline. It`s often the last which can be one of the most distressing for dogs and their owners.
While cognitive decline occurs in all pets as they age, the decline will be accelerated in some. This is often termed canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CCD), or ‘doggy dementia’, and is surprisingly common - thought to affect nearly 1 in 3 dogs over the age of 11.
Contains Bacopa monnieri, DHA (algae source), Ginkgo biloba, Lemon balm and Vitamin E.
See description for signs of cognitive decline and ways to support your senior pet.
Can BrainCopa® be given to any dog or cat?
Yes, BrainCopa® can help support brain and cognitive function in all dogs and cats.
Optimal brain function, including quick learning, a good memory and the correct responses to situations can help your pet live life to the max. It can be especially important to support brain and cognitive function as your pet ages though, to keep their mind sharp so they can continue enjoying life`s experiences to the full.
While we don’t like to think of our pets being classed as senior citizens, it is important to remember that they can reach this title more quickly than we think. Dogs are generally thought to head into their senior years anywhere between 7-11 years, depending on their size and cats are usually considered seniors over 11 years of age.
See description for further information on the ingredients.
The signs of cognitive decline include:
- Memory loss (forgetting commands)
- Restlessness and agitation (pacing)
- Disorientation and confusion
- House-soiling
- Altered behaviour (possible aggression)
- Altered sleep patterns
- Increased barking
- Change in appetite
From this, it is easy to see how CCD can really impact the quality of life for the whole family.
Unfortunately, there is no cure for cognitive decline, but there are ways you can help support your senior pet:
- Keep to a routine
- Make your home easy for your pet to navigate
- Avoid sudden changes - both to your home layout and routine
- Make sure your pet has a comfy bed and a safe space
- Increase toilet trips and potentially provide somewhere for them to toilet indoors overnight
- Maintain exercise and play but make sure it’s appropriate for their joints
- Be patient and kind to your pet – it’s not their fault if they forget commands or have an accident in the house
- Ensure they have a good diet, rich in antioxidants and omega fatty acids
Supplements such as BrainCopa® can also help to support your pet through cognitive decline. With natural, targeted, multi-action brain health and cognitive function support, you can help keep them mentally agile well into their golden years.
What are the ingredients in BrainCopa®?
Utilising the power of traditional medicine and scientific evidence, BrainCopa® Tablets combine a range of natural ingredients known to promote brain health and cognitive function, including:
Bacopa monnieri– Long used in Ayurvedic medicine as a ‘brain tonic’, bacopa is a powerful antioxidant which supports the central nervous system, memory and cognitive function. It can also help maintain a normal inflammatory state in the brain.
DHA powder – Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid which is vital for brain development and ongoing brain function. It has been shown to support cognitive function in older dogs and is well-tolerated and readily absorbed. Dorwest's DHA powder is sourced from algae, so is super sustainable.
Ginkgo biloba– Used in traditional Chinese medicine, and rich in anti-oxidants, this herb has been found to improve the quality of life of older dogs. It has been shown to minimise the impact of disorientation, and sleep and behavioural changes.
Lemon balm – A calming herb, traditionally used to aid those with sleep disturbances. It helps to support mental wellbeing and has also been found to promote optimal cognitive function.
Vitamin E – Recognised as a powerful antioxidant, Vitamin E helps support optimal memory and aids DHA uptake in the brain.
