At Dignipets, we work in end-of-life care every day. It’s a privilege but it also gives us a very real insight into the challenges faced by those caring for pets in their later stages of life.
For rescue centres and foster networks, those challenges can be even greater.
Many organisations are supporting elderly, complex, or palliative animals, often across multiple foster homes, with limited resources and a huge emotional investment from everyone involved. Making decisions about a pet’s quality of life especially when decline is gradual can feel uncertain, subjective, and incredibly difficult.
That’s why we’ve created a free Quality of Life (QOL) scoring application, designed to support the rescue community with clearer, more consistent insight with a free Quality of Life tool.
Why Quality of Life Tracking Matters
When you’re managing multiple animals across a network of foster carers and adopters, it can be hard to build a full, accurate picture of how each pet is truly doing.
Small changes can go unnoticed. Updates can vary depending on who is reporting. And when the time comes to make welfare decisions, it can feel like you’re relying on instinct alone.
Our QOL tool is designed to change that by offering a simple, structured way to track, share, and understand a pet’s wellbeing over time.
How It Supports Rescue Centres
This tool has been built with real rescue environments in mind:
📊 Foster carers can complete regular QOL assessments
Helping to create a consistent, trackable record of a pet’s wellbeing
📱 Adopters of senior pets can stay connected
Providing updates and reassurance while keeping rescue teams informed
🤝 Collaborative monitoring across your network
Everyone involved in a pet’s care can work from the same information
⚕️ Evidence-based support for difficult decisions
Offering clearer insight when assessing welfare and next steps
📈 Early identification of decline
Helping you spot subtle changes before they become critical
For Every Stage of the Journey
Whether you are:
- Managing hospice or palliative foster placements
- Supporting adopters of older pets
- Monitoring long-term health conditions
- Or facing difficult end-of-life decisions
This tool is designed to support you with objective, consistent data, alongside your experience and instinct.
Because those decisions should never feel like guesswork.
Free, Accessible, and Built to Help
This application is completely free to use no catch, no subscription, no hidden conditions.
Our goal is simple:
To support better welfare outcomes for the pets who need it most, and to make the emotional and practical load a little lighter for the people caring for them.
