Does a low score mean I should euthanize my pet?
No. A low score is not a decision by itself. It is a signal to slow down, write down what you are noticing, and talk with a licensed veterinarian about comfort, quality of life, and options.

WHY TRACKING SMALL CHANGES MATTERS
A written trend can make the vet conversation clearer.
Example scenario: Milo's family noticed he was still eating, but his mobility score dropped from 6 to 4 over a week. Because the change was written down, they had a clearer conversation with their vet about comfort and mobility support.

FAQ
Questions senior pet parents often ask
How often should I reassess my senior pet?
We suggest reassessing in 7 days so you can notice patterns without reacting to one difficult day. If your pet changes suddenly, contact a veterinarian sooner.
Is this a veterinary diagnosis?
No. This tool is for education and organization only. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace professional veterinary advice.
What if my pet's pain or breathing changes suddenly?
If you notice sudden pain, breathing changes, collapse, severe distress, or rapid decline, contact a licensed veterinarian or emergency clinic.
Can I print the report for my vet?
Yes. After submitting your email, you can open a printable report with the score sheet, symptoms noted, vet questions, and a 7-day tracker.
What happens when I share my pet's situation?
That form is not a medical consultation, and it does not guarantee a reply. It helps us understand what senior pet families need most, so we can improve future resources.
Please note: Quality-of-life scales are a starting point for observation and conversation, not a medical assessment. Always consult a licensed veterinarian about your pet’s health.
