Aktivait comes in a pot of 60 capsules. Aktivait is the first nutraceutical to combine all the nutrients necessary for sustaining optimum brain function during the ageing process.
Old age has a significant effect on brain function. In dogs, this can result in disorientation, loss of house training, irregular sleep patterns and reduced interaction. This does not need to be the case. The latest research shows that it could now be possible to teach an old dog new tricks!
Recent research also suggests that when the ingredients in Aktivait are combined with lifestyle modifications an active life, an extension of between 10% and 20% is possible.

What else can I do?
There are a number of measures you can take to help your dog’s quality of life:
- Keep your dog fit and at the correct weight by feeding an appropriate diet.
- Take your dog for three or four short walks a day rather than one long walk.
- Practice the simple commands your dog learned as a puppy and make sure to reward your dog appropriately.
- Play recall games and ball games.
- Use a clicker or whistle to reinforce training.
- Visual markers can help combat disorientation.
- Place a paper cross or similar marker on the door to the garden to indicate which one your dog should sit at if they want to go outside
- If your dog has started toileting in the house, help them to relearn the rules by accompanying them outside frequently, for example after eating, sleeping and playing. Warmly praise them and reward them if they do go to the toilet outside. Never punish your dog if they do soil in the house, this will only make matters worse.
