A canine quality of life assessment tool,

for owners and veterinary research.

An initiative at the intersection of science and animal welfare

Quality of life is an essential component in managing chronic diseases in dogs, particularly for digestive disorders such as chronic enteropathy.

Mission

This site offers a structured questionnaire, allowing owners to assess their dog’s quality of life in a few minutes.

This synthetic score can also serve as a basis for dialogue with their veterinarian.

This project is part of research supervised by animal health experts.

An applied veterinary research project

The questionnaire was designed by animal health professionals and researchers, as part of a supervised scientific study.

It aims to:

A version dedicated to researchers allows for structured longitudinal monitoring, with analysis of anonymized data for research purposes.

Who are we?

MyDogQoL is an initiative born from the desire of a group of researchers committed to veterinary gastroenterology to develop, validate, and provide a rigorous and scientifically-founded tool for assessing the quality of life of dogs with chronic intestinal diseases.

Designed to be accessible to all, this site is intended for both:

  • owners of sick dogs, who can find support to better understand the impact of the disease on their animal’s well-being and to better communicate with their veterinarian,

  • practicing veterinarians, who will find a structured tool to adapt treatments individually based on the evolution of quality of life,

  • and to the scientific community, to which the tool offers a standardized method for evaluating the effectiveness of therapeutic approaches within the framework of clinical research.

The tool offered on MyDogQoL is based on a rigorous scientific development and validation process, documented in scientific publications accessible here: [link to article when published].

The development of this free platform would not have been possible without the support of patron partners from the animal nutrition industry.

These companies share a common vision: to work for better health and well-being for dogs, by putting science at the service of clinical practice and the human-animal bond.
