This tool, the Daily Quality of Life Diary for Your Animal Companion, is a gentle, compassionate tool created to support you as you care for an aging, ill, or dying animal companion. When love and grief intertwine, it can be difficult to trust your own perceptions or remember how things have been changing day to day. This tracker offers a grounded way to notice patterns, reflect on comfort, and make decisions rooted in care rather than fear or doubt.
Designed for pet parents navigating anticipatory grief, hospice care, or end-of-life decisions, this resource helps you slow down and tune in to what your pet is communicating through their body, behavior, and presence. It is not meant to replace veterinary guidance, but to complement it by helping you observe changes with clarity and compassion.
Inside this free download, you will find a simple quality of life assessment alongside a daily diary format. Together, they allow you to track physical comfort, emotional well-being, connection, appetite, mobility, and moments of joy over time. The daily entries create space for both practical notes and personal reflection, honoring the emotional experience of caregiving as much as the physical realities.
This tracker is especially supportive if you are asking questions like:
How do I know if my pet is still comfortable?
Am I seeing a temporary dip or a larger shift?
How do I hold love, hope, and grief at the same time?
By returning to this practice regularly, many caregivers find they gain reassurance, clarity, and a deeper sense of trust in their own knowing. It can also be a helpful tool to share with your veterinarian or hospice provider when discussing care options.
This pet quality of life tracker is offered as a free resource to support you through one of the most tender seasons of loving an animal. Whether you are early in the process or nearing a goodbye, this tool is here to walk beside you, helping you witness each day with presence and care.
You are not doing this wrong. You are loving deeply. This tracker is simply a place to hold that love, one day at a time.
