Absolutely! Cancel anytime — no commitments, no hidden fees, no questions asked.

No minimum! Stay as long as your dog is seeing results. You can cancel after your very first month.

We can't guarantee individual results — but we can share this: in Dr. Hartwell's clinical case observations across 89 senior dogs with CCD, 83 were severely PS-deficient, and the families who added veterinary-formulated PS consistently saw meaningful behavioural changes at the 6-week mark. We back every order with a 60-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.

Most families notice early signs within 3–4 weeks — a calmer night, a moment of recognition, one settled evening. By weeks 5–8 the pattern is usually unmistakable. We recommend 3 months of consistent daily use for the complete picture.

We tested 10. Eight failed. Three were severely underdosed — 40–65% below label claims on independent third-party testing. Two used sunflower-derived PS with poor bioavailability in dogs. Two used clear packaging that allowed PS oxidation on the shelf. One couldn't produce a certificate of analysis. All had strong reviews. Only The VitalHound Protocol passed: veterinary-formulated, soy-derived, clinical threshold dosing, opaque packaging, third-party verified every batch.

Yes! Phosphatidylserine is a naturally occurring phospholipid — your dog's body already produces and recognises it. It is not a drug or a sedative. The body uses what it needs and clears the rest. There is no known accumulation or toxicity at therapeutic doses. Worst outcome: nothing changes and you receive a full refund. Best outcome: families describe it the same way — "He came back to us."

Gabapentin suppresses the symptoms of cognitive dysfunction syndrome. The VitalHound Protocol addresses the root cause those symptoms point to: the phosphatidylserine deficiency Gabapentin cannot correct.

The two work on different mechanisms. Many families use both. The VitalHound Protocol is formulated to work alongside existing vet-prescribed protocols — it does not replace them. Always consult your veterinarian before making changes to your dog's health routine.

One compound: veterinary-formulated, soy-derived phosphatidylserine, delivered via liposomal encapsulation for maximum absorption. No fillers, no competing compounds, no proprietary blends that obscure dosing. The label shows exactly what is in the bottle. Third-party testing confirms it on every production batch.

PS deficiency develops gradually before symptoms appear. If your dog is 7+ years old, starting now gives the brain what it needs before the deficit reaches clinical threshold. Prevention is meaningfully easier than intervention.

Yes — nighttime disruption in CCD is one of the most consistent early indicators of PS deficiency. The signals that regulate sleep cycles and settled behaviour require PS to complete. Most families report nighttime improvement within the first 3–4 weeks.

It's a liquid — add the correct dose based on weight directly to your dog's food at mealtime. No pills to hide, no power struggles. Most dogs do not notice it at all.

The VitalHound Protocol is a targeted cognitive support protocol, not a general wellness supplement. It is intended to complement, not replace, your vet's existing protocol.

Yes. Motor coordination and bladder signalling are orchestrated by the same neural tissue that PS supports. Stumbling, falling, and loss of bladder control in senior dogs with CCD are not separate "physical" failures — they are the brain's motor signals misfiring due to the same PS deficiency driving the nighttime pacing and blank staring. When the brain receives the PS it has been running without, the signal that says "left paw, right paw, this is the floor you know, you are steady" can finally complete. Families consistently report a return of steadiness alongside the cognitive improvements — often within the same 4–6 week window.
