Common questions

Does the senior dog care checklist store my answers?

No. It runs in your browser and does not ask for your name, email, or account.

Can this checklist diagnose my senior dog?

No. It helps you organise observations for a vet visit. A veterinarian needs to examine your dog to diagnose or treat a problem.

When should senior symptoms be urgent?

Contact a vet urgently for collapse, trouble breathing, severe pain, repeated vomiting, seizures, inability to stand, heavy bleeding, or fast-worsening symptoms.
