Families often ask us, “How will I know when it’s time?” There is rarely a single moment — instead, we look at trends in comfort, appetite, mobility, and joy.
Tools like the HHHHHMM quality-of-life scale let you score your pet’s good days and hard days over time, turning a gut feeling into something you can see. A journal of good days versus bad days is often the clearest guide.
You never have to make this assessment alone — a quality-of-life consultation in your home can help you see your pet’s days clearly and plan with compassion.
