Buchanan, VA, July 23, 2022 --(PR.com)-- Dr. Debbie Torraca of Wizard of Paws, located at 155 Westchster Road, Colchester, Connecticut is very aware of the need for pet parents to learn more about cognitive issues in their dogs.

As a contributor to, F. Barish-Stern's book, “Shamrock’s Story, From Hurricane Katrina to Doggy Dementia & Alzheimer’s, published by Golden Quill Press, Dr. Torraca stated she is a firm believer that certain breeds and genetics make dogs wired to be more anxious. “Knowing your dog’s breed genetics can help you be aware of triggers that might indicate CCDS.” Therefore, even though a dog like Shamrock who wasn’t excitable, because her breed predisposed her to be more anxious, she was a candidate for cognitive issues.

Barish-Stern set out to write this book after experiencing this disease with her dog, Shamrock and explains in the book what she has learned, in order to help pet parents understand more about cognitive issues in their dogs.
