More Good Days Tracker
The essential quality-of-life tracker and decision-support guide for senior and terminally ill dogs and cats.
When a pet is ageing or seriously ill, decline is rarely linear. Symptoms fluctuate day to day, and it can be hard to tell whether a difficult day is a temporary dip or part of a meaningful pattern. In that context, memory is unreliable, especially when you are tired, worried, or grieving. What helps is a structured record you can trust.
More Good Days is a veterinary-informed quality-of-life tracker designed to help you monitor comfort, function, and engagement daily, then automatically summarise your observations into weekly patterns and trend charts. It's not a diagnostic tool and it does not replace clinical judgement. It's designed to support clearer, calmer conversations with your vet by bringing a longitudinal view of what is happening at home.
What you'll receive
You will get lifetime access to the More Good Days quality-of-life tracking spreadsheet and companion guide.
The tracker includes daily logs, automatic weekly summaries, and visual charts to make change over time easier to see. You will also receive a PDF guide explaining quality of life, decline, and end-of-life decision-making, with prompts to help you interpret patterns and prepare for conversations with your vet.
How the tracker works in practice
Vets assess quality of life using a combination of clinical findings and what you observe at home. The challenge is that appointments are snapshots, while quality of life is lived day to day. More Good Days gives you a simple daily structure so the patterns between visits are visible and easier to describe.
Each day, you score key wellbeing domains using a simple 1–3–5 scale:
1 – Concerning: clear signs of discomfort, distress, or decline
3 – Acceptable: mild, intermittent, or manageable changes
5 – Ideal: comfortable, species-typical behaviour
Over time, your daily entries roll up into weekly summaries and trend charts, helping you distinguish isolated bad days from sustained change.
What you track
More Good Days focuses on core domains commonly used in veterinary quality-of-life assessment:
Mobility and activity
Pain and discomfort
Appetite
Hydration
Mood and engagement
For cats, the tracker includes an additional grooming and self-care domain as a sensitive indicator of wellbeing and early decline.
You can also add illness-specific domains that matter for your pet, with your own definitions of what a 1, 3, and 5 look like, so tracking stays personalised and meaningful.
Who its for
More Good Days is designed for pet owners caring for:
Senior dogs and cats experiencing age-related decline
Pets living with chronic conditions such as cancer, kidney disease, or heart disease
Pets receiving palliative or hospice care at home
Pets whose symptoms fluctuate, making decisions feel particularly uncertain
