More Good Days Pet Quality of Life Tracker | Senior & Sick Pet Daily Health Log
Caring for a sick or ageing pet is one of the hardest things you'll ever do. This tool was built to help you do it with clarity.
More Good Days is a daily quality-of-life tracker for dogs and cats who are senior, ill, or receiving palliative or hospice care. You track how your pet is doing each day. The tool surfaces patterns over time. And when the hardest decision arrives, you have something real to stand on — not memory distorted by hope and grief, but an honest record of what you actually saw.
What it does
Most tools for this moment are static. A PDF checklist. A one-time scoring exercise at the vet. A set of guidelines that asks how your pet seems today.
More Good Days is different. It tracks your pet's quality of life every single day, across the same domains veterinarians use to assess wellbeing: comfort, mobility, appetite, hydration, pain, happiness, and engagement. These categories are grounded in the HHHHHMM scale developed by veterinary oncologist Dr Alice Villalobos — the clinical standard for quality-of-life assessment in veterinary care — translated into a daily practice any owner can sustain.
Over days and weeks, the picture that builds is one no single vet appointment can capture. You see the good Tuesdays and the terrible Fridays. You see whether recovery is slowing, whether bad days are starting to outnumber good ones, whether the pattern of the last three weeks looks different from the three weeks before that.

Free Bonus: A Practical Guide to Quality of Life and End-of-Life Decisions for Pets (PDF)
This 23-page guide comes with every purchase. It was written by the founders of More Good Days — people who navigated a pet's terminal illness without the right tools, and built this one because of it.
The guide covers:
Emotional understanding — why this is so hard, what anticipatory grief actually is, and why the fear and second-guessing you're carrying are a completely normal response to an impossible situation
Tracking and monitoring — how to understand quality of life the way vets do, how to recognise the signs of decline, and how the tracker supports clearer thinking during the most emotionally charged time of your life
Decision-making and preparation — practical tools for reducing overwhelm, how to define what a "good day" means for your specific pet, when to reassess, and how to prepare for a peaceful and dignified goodbye
Grief and remembrance — what grief after pet loss actually looks and feels like, how to support yourself in the early days, and simple ways to honour the life of an animal who mattered
This isn't generic pet care content. It was written for people who are in it right now — who are watching closely, second-guessing everything, and trying to make the kindest decision they can with the information they have.
Who this is for
Owners whose dog or cat has received a serious or terminal diagnosis
Anyone caring for a senior pet who is visibly slowing down
Pet owners preparing for an end-of-life decision and wanting real data to guide them
Anyone who has been told they'll "just know when it's time" and found that answer inadequate
People who want to walk into a vet appointment with something concrete — a record that shows what good looked like three months ago, and what it looks like now
Why tracking changes the vet conversation
Vets work from twelve-minute appointments. They see your pet on the day they happen to be seen — which may be a good day, or a bad one, or simply a different one. What they can't see is the pattern.
When you arrive with a record — weeks of daily observations across pain, appetite, mobility, and mood — the conversation changes. You're not saying "I think he's been worse." You're showing exactly when the decline started, how steep it's been, and what's changed. That's the difference between a vet making a decision and a vet and owner making one together.
