Senior Dog Weekly Check

A gentle 5-minute Sunday routine for noticing what changes—and writing it down.

Energy and usual activities
Movement, standing, and stairs
Eating and drinking habits
Bathroom routine
Sleep and rest

“Write the small details memory can blur.”

A calmer way to keep track

Observe without turning every small moment into a worry.

Take five quiet minutes once a week while your dog is simply being themselves. The check gives you one consistent place to compare today with what is usual.

Record

Capture what is normal, new, or worth remembering.

Discuss

Bring clearer notes to your next veterinary conversation.

Made for the moments when

“Was that new—or did it start weeks ago?”

This page is especially helpful when your dog has recently turned 7, seems a little different in a familiar routine, takes regular medication, has more than one caregiver, or has a veterinarian who has asked you to keep an eye on a change.

One page. Eight everyday areas. A clearer record.

Energy and usual activities
Movement, standing, and stairs
Eating and drinking habits
Bathroom routine
Sleep and rest
Mood and interaction
Weight or body feel
Medication or routine changes

There is also space for when you first noticed something, what was happening around that time, and a question for your veterinarian.

You already know your dog’s little ways.

This check simply helps you hold onto the details when life gets busy.
