Understanding the Quality of Life Scale

This assessment is based on the HHHHHMM Quality of Life Scale, a framework developed by veterinary oncologist Dr. Alice Villalobos and used by veterinarians around the world. It looks at seven areas of your pet’s daily experience: Hurt, Hunger, Hydration, Hygiene, Happiness, Mobility, and whether they’re having more good days than bad.

This is not a diagnosis. It’s a reflection tool, designed to help you see what you may already be feeling. There are no right or wrong answers. Answer honestly based on what you’ve observed over the past week, and we’ll help you understand what your pet may be experiencing.

From Families We've Helped

Families who started with this assessment

“I took the assessment three times over two weeks. Each time the score dropped a little more. It helped me see what I already knew but was afraid to admit. When I finally called, they were so kind. I am glad I did not wait longer.”

“The assessment gave me permission to have the conversation with my husband. We could both see the numbers and talk about it without feeling like one of us was giving up. It made the hardest decision a little easier to face together.”

J

James & Duke

Seattle, WA

“I scored a 42 the first time and felt relieved. Two months later it was a 19. Having that comparison helped me understand how fast things were changing. The vet said calling when I did was the right thing.”

Questions you might be asking yourself

This is the most common fear we hear, and it comes from love. Veterinarians often say it is better to be a week too early than a day too late. Choosing to say goodbye while your pet still has some comfort is not giving up. It is protecting them from the worst days ahead. If your pet had a good morning before a scheduled visit, that does not mean you made the wrong call. It means the last thing they felt was peace.

You do not have to be ready right now. Many families call us just to talk, weeks or even months before scheduling anything. There is no pressure, no timeline, and no judgment. When you are ready, we will be here. And if you are never ready, that is okay too. Some families find that having a plan in place, even if they do not use it yet, helps ease the anxiety of not knowing what to do.

No. Every visit follows a gentle two-step process. First, a calming sedative helps your pet drift into a deep, comfortable sleep, similar to anesthesia. They become fully relaxed and unaware. Only then is the final medication given. They feel nothing but warmth and your presence. Most families tell us it was far more peaceful than they expected.

The veterinarian arrives at the time you choose and takes a few minutes to meet your family and your pet. There is no rush. You choose where your pet will be, whether that is on the couch, in the garden, or on your lap. The vet explains each step before it happens. After your pet has passed, you have as much time as you need to say goodbye. We handle everything that comes after, including cremation and aftercare.

Many families struggle with this. We recommend honest, simple language. Children often handle the truth better than we expect, especially when they can be part of the goodbye. Our veterinarians are experienced in guiding families through this conversation and can help you find the right words. You are welcome to call us beforehand to talk it through.

Our pricing is transparent and all-inclusive. There are no hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no platform markups. The cost covers the veterinarian visit, the full two-step sedation process, and aftercare coordination. Call us for exact pricing in your area. We believe every family deserves to know the cost upfront, before making any decisions.

Your score reflects how your pet is doing across seven areas of daily life that veterinarians use to evaluate quality of life. A higher score suggests your pet is still finding comfort. A lower score suggests they may be struggling. The score is a starting point for reflection, not a verdict. If you are unsure what your number means, call us. A veterinarian will walk through it with you, free of charge.

If your pet is aging or managing a condition, retaking the assessment every one to two weeks can help you see how things are changing. Many families find it easier to recognize decline when they can compare scores over time rather than relying on how they feel day to day.

Our promise to you.

Your pet will feel no pain. Your family will not be rushed. And you will never wonder if there was a better way.

That is our promise.
