Your old dog is slowing down, and you can’t always tell what’s just age and what’s worth a vet visit.
A gentle, week by week way to watch the things that matter, write them down and know when it’s time to call. It makes gradual changes easier to notice and discuss with your vet.
What’s inside
30 printable pages, kept where you’ll actually use them.
Know their normal
A simple baseline for movement, sleep, appetite and mood, so a change stands out the day it starts.
A 30 day tracker
Two minutes each evening. Turns “he’s been off lately” into notes your vet can actually use.

Vet visit prep
What to bring, what to ask, and a clear watch / call today / go now guide for the worrying moments.
Who it’s for
This is for you if…
- Owners of a dog around 7 or older (later for small breeds)
- Anyone noticing stiffness, slowing down, or new quirks
- Owners who want a clear record of small changes
Maybe not, if…
- Puppies and young, healthy dogs (try the Complete Dog Care Plan)
- This is not a diagnosis or treatment plan. Your vet handles medical decisions.
Questions
Is this medical advice?
No. It’s an observation and notes tool. It never diagnoses or treats anything, and it says clearly when to call your vet or an emergency clinic.
My dog is small and still spry. Too soon?
Small breeds hit “senior” later. If your dog is healthy and young at heart, the Complete Dog Care Plan may fit better for now.
How do I get it?
It’s a PDF you download the moment you buy, and it’s yours to keep and print. It also lands in your inbox.
