A free printable checklist

Is Your Older Dog Moving or Acting Differently?

Use this free checklist to record changes in movement, sleep, appetite, mood, and touch.

  • The everyday signs of an aching older dog, stiffness, stairs, sleep, mood, and licking, gathered on one calm page
  • Plain word prompts so you can tell “slowing down with age” from “worth a vet call,” without second guessing
  • A tuck away notes sheet, so you can tell your vet exactly what changed and when, instead of guessing on the phone

We'll email the printable now, plus one useful Dog Help email from BuddyLio each week. Story Club is separate. Unsubscribe anytime.

When to call your vet

This guide helps you record what you notice. It does not give medical advice. Call your veterinarian if your dog seems sick, is in pain, or you are worried.

This checklist spots the signs. Here is the plan for what comes next.

The paid companion

The Senior Dog Comfort Plan

The pain checklist tells you what to watch for. The Senior Dog Comfort Plan gives you a calm, month long way to track it, keep clear notes, and walk into the vet with a real picture instead of a worried guess. Same plain voice as your checklist.

  • A baseline for movement, sleep, appetite and mood, so change stands out
  • A 30 day tracker that turns “he’s been off” into notes your vet can use
  • The cheap home fixes vets suggest first: floors, beds, ramps, bowls
  • Vet visit prep, with the right questions and a watch / call / go now guide
  • The signs that mean call today, and the ones that mean go right now
