Caring for a dog with megaesophagus means careful upright feedings and watching for aspiration. This free, offline log tracks every meal, regurgitation episode, and weight check so you can spot problems early.
Each meal must be eaten upright and the dog held upright after, so timing and duration matter a lot.
Regurgitation and coughing can signal aspiration pneumonia, the biggest risk, and need tracking for the vet.
Finding the right food consistency takes trial and error that is hard to remember without notes.

When to contact a vet immediately
A tracker is for patterns over time — it is not for emergencies. Contact a veterinarian or an emergency clinic right away if your pet has difficulty breathing, collapses or cannot stand, has a seizure that does not stop or seizures that repeat, is straining to urinate without producing urine, has severe bleeding, or may have swallowed something toxic (see ASPCA Animal Poison Control).
PetHealthLog is a record-keeping tool, not veterinary advice. Nothing on this page diagnoses or treats any condition — always follow your own veterinarian's guidance.
