Well, most senior dogs suffer from some form of CDS: Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome, sometimes known as Old Dog Syndrome. It can cause some severe behavioral changes in your dog, such as frequent toilet incidents (weeing and pooping in the house), failing to come to you when called, not recognising it's name or you, sleeping alot more or alot less, and walking listlessly around the house without a destination goal. CDS mostly affects dogs 8 years old or over, and is very common among dogs.

Yes, it has been recently discovered that cats suffer forms of dementia very similar to those observed in humans, so doctors are studying them to help us. I hav an 18-year old cat and she is definetely senile!
