Dr. Haroldson grew up on a farm in central North Dakota and has always had a love for animals. After graduating from Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2015, she began practicing veterinary medicine in the Fargo area. During this time, Dr. Haroldson has developed a particular interest in end-of-life care and the human-animal bond. She realizes that these final moments with a

beloved pet are incredibly important and should be handled with care and compassion. In order to enhance her ability to provide quality care, Dr. Haroldson pursued additional training in fear-free veterinary medicine and rehabilitation and physical medicine. She believes that a fear-free approach is crucial in creating a comfortable and stress-free environment for both pets and their owners. In her practice, Dr. Haroldson focuses on creating a peaceful atmosphere for pets and their owners during the last moments of their lives. She provides gentle and compassionate care, ensuring that pets are as comfortable as possible. Dr. Haroldson also works closely with owners to help them through the euthanasia process. She understands the deep emotional connection that exists between people and their pets, and is there to offer support and guidance during this difficult time. In her personal time, Dr. Haroldson enjoys spending time with her husband and their three children. They share their home with two labradors, two cats, and one crested gecko. She enjoys outdoor activities such as biking and spending time at the lake. Dr. Kristine Haroldson is a dedicated veterinarian who is passionate about making the last moments of a pet's life comforting and memorable. Her commitment to fear-free and compassionate care sets her apart and ensures that pets and their owners receive the highest quality of care during this difficult time.

🐾 Understanding Cognitive Dysfunction in Pets 🐾

Today, we’re shedding light on a topic that’s often overlooked but incredibly important: Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS) in our beloved furry friends.

Just like humans, pets can experience changes in their brains as they age, leading to cognitive decline. Here are some signs to watch for:

🔍 Signs of Cognitive Dysfunction:

Disorientation or confusion (lost in familiar places)
Changes in sleeping patterns (restlessness at night)
Decreased interaction with family members
Loss of house training
Increased anxiety or agitation
🌟 What Can You Do? If you notice these signs, it’s essential to consult your veterinarian. Early detection and intervention can make a world of difference! There are various strategies, including dietary changes, mental enrichment, and medications, that can help improve your pet's quality of life.

This is a link for a questionnaire to give you an idea of where your pet falls on the cognitive dysfunction scale. https://form.jotform.com/pawsofserenityvet/Purina-Cognitive-Dysfunction

💡 Tips for Supporting Cognitive Health:

Engage their minds: Puzzle toys and training exercises can help keep their brains sharp.
Routine matters: Maintaining a consistent schedule can reduce confusion.
Create a safe space: Make sure your pet has a quiet, comfortable area to retreat to when they need a break.
Remember, aging is a natural part of life, and with the right support, we can help our pets thrive as they grow older. Share your experiences in the comments below! 🐶💕
