Stay Organised: Use a Care Tracker for Your Senior Pet’s Health

A black and white Border Collie dog looks into the camera next to a desktop planner. A turquoise speech bubble points from the dog to the planner, reading "KEEP TRACK WITH A PLANNER", with smaller captions below listing "MILESTONES", "MEDICATIONS", and "DOSAGES" with tick boxes, highlighting a tool for pet care management.

Managing the daily care routine of a senior pet can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when it involves multiple medications or specific care tasks. A simple but effective solution is to create a printable medication and care tracker. This tool helps to keep you organised and ensures your pet receives consistent, high-quality care.

Using a printed table with easy-to-use tick boxes provides a clear and reliable way to keep a record of your pet’s needs. This is particularly handy for tracking medications, dosages, and administration days, helping to prevent any missed doses or accidental double-dosing. It serves as a single source of truth for all caregivers, ensuring everyone is on the same page.

Beyond medication management, you can also use this practical tool for recording additional daily care tasks. This could include monitoring specific health indicators like respiratory rate, scheduling regular sessions for gentle massages, or planning enrichment activities.

By keeping a detailed and up-to-date tracker, you are better equipped to manage your pet’s daily care with confidence. This simple routine not only supports their overall wellbeing but also gives you a clear record to share with your veterinarian, making consultations more productive and effective as your pet enjoys their retirement.
