how can I evaluate my senior dog’s quality of life? - Animal Hospital of Statesville

The clients that I interact with are the best judge of their pet's quality of life because they're with them every day. I get asked whether a client’s pet is doing well or if I know what the quality of life is. And the things that I talk about is your experience at home. I see a skewed version of that when they're here because they may not be getting up at home, and then the dog comes in the exam room, and they're walking around constantly in the room. And that can be due to anxiety or their adrenaline being up. So what you experience at home and how you see their day-to-day life is an excellent way to judge that.
