Why senior dogs with CCD need a tracker

Symptoms like disorientation, pacing, and night waking change gradually and are hard to judge from memory.

Vets use the DISHA framework, so a clear record of which signs appear helps guide diagnosis and treatment.

Supplements and medication effects take weeks to show, making consistent tracking essential to see what helps.

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).
