This booklet is designed to support your dog’s return to function following conservative (non-surgical) management of injury or chronic conditions. It provides a structured framework to track your dog’s comfort levels, pain flare-ups, and overall recovery progress. Use it to plan and record important milestones such as veterinary reviews, medication checks, and the gradual return to off-lead activity. Long-term goals focus on restoring your dog’s pre-injury abilities, including setting a target date for achieving pain free 30 min walks for example. With space to document each stage of recovery, this booklet helps keep you and your veterinary team aligned on a clear, goal-driven path back to function.
