Notes from the clinic.

Short, honest write-ups of what our own measurements are teaching us, including the protocols we have retired.

  • March 2026

    Body condition beat every supplement we tried

    Across our first cohort, the dogs whose gait scores improved most were the ones who lost the last kilogram. No capsule came close.

  • February 2026

    Why we stopped booking annual reviews

    Two panels a year caught four renal trends and one cardiac change that a twelve-month interval would have found a full biological year late.

  • January 2026

    Reading a murmur without panicking

    How we sequence auscultation, home respiratory rate, biomarker and echo so that owners get a plan rather than an appointment.

  • December 2025

    Titres instead of reflex boosters

    What a year of titre-led vaccination looked like in practice, including the cases where we still vaccinated.

  • November 2025

    The sleep week that explained the reactivity

    One dog, seven nights of measurement, and a behavioural problem that turned out to be a temperature problem.
