A Visual History: Tracking Your Pet’s Condition with Regular Photos and Videos

As a pet parent, you see your beloved companion every day, and because of this, gradual changes in their health and well-being can be incredibly difficult to spot. This makes it challenging to accurately assess their quality of life over time. According to our head Palliative Care vet, Dr. Anna, creating a visual record can be one of the most effective tools you have.

Taking regular photos and videos from consistent angles over time creates a clear and objective record of your pet’s behaviour, mobility, and overall condition. This visual history is invaluable, as it allows both you and your veterinarian to look back and identify subtle changes in your pet’s movement, mood, and behaviour that might otherwise go unnoticed.

This simple practice empowers you to have more informed conversations with your vet. By being able to objectively review your senior pet’s journey, you can help to identify any concerns early on and make informed decisions that best support their health and happiness.

It’s a beautiful way to document your pet’s journey while also giving you a powerful tool to ensure they receive the best care possible throughout their retirement.
