Ralph - Pet Quality of Life 4+

My 10 year old boy was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma two months ago, and we’re taking it day by day with lots of ups and downs. I want to make sure I’m making the best decisions for him and not prolonging suffering, and this app really helps add clarity as to whether a day is truly “good” or “bad” as measured by the veterinary quality of life scale.

I’d love to see a visual indicator with an aggregate “score” over time (e.g, in the past 7/30/etc. days, pup’s QOL score is X [green/yellow/red face]).

Thank you so much for helping provide clarity at a time when owners might need help making decisions for their sick loved ones.

Thank you for your touching review and sharing your journey with your boy.

I appreciate your suggestion about adding an aggregate score indicator and will explore ways to implement this feature.

We want our senior dogs to live forever but instead we treasure every moment, because tomorrow isn’t promised for any of us.

It’s so important to focus on dogs’ needs with respect to whether or not they’re in pain and able to maintain quality of life.

I’ll be honest—at this point I like to do a sort of weekly “check in” vs daily, in order to provide data so that we can look back and view trends as we progress to the next stages.

I love that we can add note and photos about activity and what we’ve been up to. App dev is very receptive to input.

Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience - your feedback about check-in frequency is particularly helpful. I'll work on adding flexibility for daily or weekly check-ins in a future update to better accommodate different monitoring preferences.

Just started using the app and here are a few early impressions:

The water intake scale needs to be somehow modified so that one can indicate abnormal increase in water intake, as well as decrease.

The user should be able to enter information for days previous to the day the app was downloaded. I fully remember what yesterday was like.

Thank you for your feedback on the app. I'm continuously working on improving or adding useful features.

Regarding tracking abnormal water intake changes, I would recommend using the notes feature, which are included in the PDF export.

It is actually possible to enter data for previous days either by using the calendar view or clicking the chart dots.
