Seven days. Seven small things to notice.
The 7-Day Dog Wellness Check-In is our short introduction to reading your own dog. One thing to look at each day, a couple of minutes at a time, in plain words. No symptom lists, no worst-case scenarios — just the habit of paying proper attention.

What the week looks like
A different small thing each day
You are not examining your dog. You are getting to know what their normal actually is, so that a change stands out later.
Day 1
Weight and body condition
Learning to read your dog’s shape with your hands rather than the scale. The slow drift nobody notices day to day.
Day 2
The full nose-to-tail
One calm pass from front to back. Not an examination — just a few minutes of proper attention, done the same way each time.
Day 3
Food, water and appetite
How keenly does your dog actually eat, and how much do they really drink? Most owners have never put a word to it. Today you will.
Day 4
Energy, sleep and movement
Where the naps happen, how quickly they get up, and what the first few steps after a long sleep tell you.
Day 5
Mouth, ears, eyes and paws
The four places where small changes show up earliest — and what normal looks like on your dog specifically.
Day 6
Home safety and the emergency sheet
A quick pass around the house, then filling in the one page you hope never to need and will be glad to have.
Day 7
The vet list, and locking in the habit
What to bring to your next appointment, and how to keep the week going without it ever feeling like a chore.
Why it costs nothing
Because the habit matters more than the sale
Most dogs get a proper look-over once a year, at the vet. The rest of the time we rely on a feeling that something is off — which usually arrives late.
Seven days is enough to change that. If the guide is useful, you will carry the habit on without us. If you want to go further, our paid guides are there. Either way, your dog is better off.
We send the download link to your email, and occasionally a short note when we publish something new. No noise, and you can stop at any time.

Steady Dog guides are educational. They are written to help you notice things and describe them well — never to diagnose or to replace your vet.
