Before you begin

Help comes before a score.

If your dog is injured or in immediate danger, contact a veterinarian or emergency service now. Do not wait to finish this check.

Do not deliberately leave a distressed dog alone to test them. A crate may not be appropriate for a dog trying to escape it.

No absence duration, diagnosis or treatment plan is generated.

No email or account required. This tool keeps answers in the current page only. Closing or refreshing clears them. A saved text file stays on your device.

Have notes or clips to bring to your appointment?

The Separation Distress Evidence & Vet Prep Pack helps you put those details in order. Preview its video index, event records and appointment brief before deciding whether it would help.
