Dr. Alice Villalobos, DVM, developed a Quality of Life Scale — also called the HHHHHMM Scale for pets. This dog quality of life rating scale measures 8 areas of health to determine your dogs general overall health.
The result of this scale is by no way medical or Veterinary advice. It simply provides a guideline for pet owners to try to look objectively at areas of your pets health. In times of stress-when dealing with a sick or old pet-it can help to organize your thoughts and provide important feedback to your Veterinarian. Always consult with your Veterinarian!
