There comes a time when many pet parents begin to notice small changes—perhaps their pet sleeps more, seems less interested in favorite activities, or moves a little more slowly than before. These changes often happen gradually, making them difficult to recognize from one day to the next. When you’re with your pet every day, it can be especially challenging to separate normal aging from signs that they may be struggling.
This Quality of Life Worksheet is designed to help you take a step back and look at the bigger picture. By tracking your pet’s comfort, mobility, appetite, hygiene, happiness, and daily routines over time, you’ll be able to recognize meaningful patterns instead of relying on memory alone.
While no worksheet can make decisions for you, it can provide valuable insight that helps guide thoughtful conversations with your veterinarian. Our hope is that this resource gives you greater clarity, confidence, and peace of mind as you make decisions rooted in love, compassion, and what’s best for your beloved companion.
