Watchdog Health Tracker

Devised by Anna Marzolino and Janet Petros, with assistance from Dr M Litman and Dr Wendy Beers, this is an example of an excel spreadsheet which allows canine health monitoring over the full spectrum of health tests during your dog's life.

With permission of the originators, this particular version has been adapted to display the tests available in the UK.

This spreadsheet gives an at-a-glance picture of the progress of health checks and illnesses for your dog. With continuous monitoring this record could be an essential guide if there was a need to visit a vet other than your usual one and perhaps (at times) for your own veterinarian.

Enter the date of testing and the age of the dog is automatically calculated from hidden formula.

Each test result can be formulated to give a different colour if the reading is higher or lower than the Veterinary reference range, red for high and blue for low.

And although it doesn't work on the web page, for an explanation of each test item, simply hover your mouse pointer over the appropriate cell and a medical summary will appear as a pop-up.
