Quality of life? Instead, quality of well being 

Assessing your pet's quality of life & well being, simplified

As an experienced Certified Animal Hospice Practitioner and Certified Hospice & Palliative Care Advocate, I've seen the shortfalls of the quality of life scales that most veterinary interdisciplinary team members & pet guardians lean on to interpret how a pet is doing after age-related decline is present, or after a progressive or life-limiting diagnosis is made. These scales typically rely heavily on the physical quality of well being, which is far too narrow a scope. I wanted something better for the families in my care -- & you! I created the Telos Quality of Well Being Assessment Tool to empower caregivers to comprehensively evaluate, monitor, communicate & collaborate with veterinary interdisciplinary teams to enhance their pet's well-being across physical, social, & psychological dimensions. This holistic, strengths-based approach is designed differently, using the Affect Balance Model, to promote comfort for the pet & help uncover gaps in caregiving. Designed to be used on a regular basis, this tool can help evaluate & track your pet's well being over time -- though it is equally helpful in during end-of-life conversations with core vet team members.
