Free tool·Plate 03·Seven-day baseline
Seven days of notes your vet will actually thank you for.
You can’t tell what changed if you never wrote down what’s normal. Two minutes a day for a week turns vague worry into a picture — for you, for the community, and for the consulting room. Be honest, not perfect.

Fill this once. It gives your week context — and it’s the first thing a vet or the community will ask.

Sets which fields you see. Change it any time — nothing you have already logged is lost.
Itching often tracks with the gut. To watch both in the same week, choose Everything — that puts the daily poop log back in.
Poops today
Log each one as it happens — morning firm, evening watery is a very different day from one soft poop. Open the chart →
When?
What did it look like?
Appetite
Did they eat like themselves today? Refusing food is on the vet list.
Itch score
Scratching, licking paws, ears, belly, rear.
0 none · 1 occasional · 2 frequent · 3 near-constant
Where’s the itch?
Optional — tap any that apply, and add a detail if you like.
Energy
1 flat · 3 normal for them · 5 bouncy.
Vomiting
Log each episode. Four facts, about ten seconds — and they are the four a vet asks for first.
When?
What came up?
How long since they ate?
And afterwards?
Water
Compared with a normal day for your dog.
Sleep
Sleeping more than usual can be the first sign a dog feels off.
Food
What they ate and roughly how much.
Treats & extras
Everything — chews, scraps, training treats. This is the field people quietly skip, and it’s often the answer.
Routine changes
New food, treat, place, weather, stress, meds, guests.
Supplements given
Notes
Anything that stood out. One line is fine.

0 of 7How to track well
Five habits that make a week of notes worth something.
-
Change one thing at a time
If you tweak the food and add a supplement and switch walk routes, you cannot tell what did what. One variable per week.
-
Patterns beat single days
One score-5 poop after a new treat is different from five loose days in a row. Resist acting on day one.
-
Watch the clusters
Itching, loose stool and a recent food change often travel together. That cluster is a useful clue to bring your vet — not a diagnosis you make yourself.
-
Record what improved, too
Baselines are not only for problems. They are how you prove that the thing you changed actually worked, instead of hoping it did.
-
Log the treats honestly
The half a biscuit from a neighbour and the crust off a sandwich are food. This is the single most-skipped field and, surprisingly often, the answer.
Safety first — always on this page
Don’t finish the week first.
Stop tracking and call your vet if you see
- Blood in stool or vomit, or black tar-like stool.
- Repeated vomiting, or watery stool lasting more than about 24–48 hours — sooner in puppies, seniors, small breeds or already-unwell dogs.
- Refusal to eat or drink, a painful or bloated belly, or straining with nothing produced.
- Anything that is clearly getting worse across the week rather than holding steady.
- Anything that genuinely worries you. A tracker is a tool for patterns, not for emergencies.
Editorial standards
How we make these tools.
You have no reason to trust a dog-health page you have never heard of. So here is exactly how this one is built, and what it will never do.
-
01
We take no money from products
We sell no supplements, food or tests, and earn nothing when you buy — no affiliate links, no sponsorships. When our review team recommends a product it’s because it’s genuinely good, never because someone paid us. That’s the only job we have.
-
02
Your data stays yours
Everything you type here is saved in your own browser and nowhere else. There is no account, no upload, no analytics on your dog’s health, and nothing for us to sell or lose.
-
03
Every tool has a vet threshold
We build each one so the honest answer is sometimes “this needs a professional.” Those thresholds are printed on the page, never hidden behind a sign-up.
-
04
We never borrow authority we don’t have
Our editorial team researches each tool against veterinary and nutrition sources and tells you how solid the evidence is. We do not claim a veterinarian wrote or reviewed something unless one actually did — and on this page, none has.
What this tracker is
- A record of what normal looks like for your dog
- Seven days of evidence to bring to a consultation
- A way to test one change at a time and actually read the result
- Free, offline, and stored only on your device
What it isn’t
- A monitoring device — it doesn’t watch your dog, you do
- A reason to delay a vet visit that’s already warranted
- A diagnosis, however neat the pattern looks
- A medical record — clearing your browser clears it
Your next step
Seven days of data is worth more with someone to read it with.
Post your Day 7 review inside The Healthy Dog Club and we’ll help you read the pattern and point you to the right next resource — the transition planner, the supplement checklist, or the vet prep sheet.
