Helped me care for my best friend
Mar 2
CaraMadra
I used the Ralph app consistently for over 7 months to track my 16+ year old best friend's health and quality of life. I'd tried other QoL tracking methods in the past and, while they were more detailed, they were so much harder to maintain. Ralph helped me see when my boy was having difficulty, and when he was rebounding. Ultimately, he suffered an unexpected sudden and severe health crisis so I no longer had to decide "When" - but knowing that my tracking through Ralph showed that his quality of life was likely not going to get a lot better, it was easier to know that I didn't want to subject him to further interventions.Thanks for this app. I'll be recommending it to others.

I am incredibly sorry for the loss of your sweet boy. Losing a companion of 16 years is heartbreaking.Thank you so much for your kind words. It really means a lot to hear that Ralph helped give you some peace of mind during those tough moments. That is exactly why we built it. I also want to thank you for helping me improve the app and make it better for everyone. Wishing you all the best while you heal.

Challenging times are easier with Ralph

My 10 year old boy was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma two months ago, and we’re taking it day by day with lots of ups and downs. I want to make sure I’m making the best decisions for him and not prolonging suffering, and this app really helps add clarity as to whether a day is truly “good” or “bad” as measured by the veterinary quality of life scale. I’d love to see a visual indicator with an aggregate “score” over time (e.g, in the past 7/30/etc. days, pup’s QOL score is X [green/yellow/red face]). Thank you so much for helping provide clarity at a time when owners might need help making decisions for their sick loved ones.

Thank you for your touching review and sharing your journey with your boy. I appreciate your suggestion about adding an aggregate score indicator and will explore ways to implement this feature.

Great tool to help track my older dog.

My vet recommended we start a journal for my older dog to keep track of his good and bad days. I found this app. I love the scale at the top super easy to read. I also love the note section. I can’t thank you enough for the app! For future updates maybe consider: to have some more details in the sliding scale by making it broader maybe 1-10. I feel like my dog is in between two descriptions on a few. Or maybe a place where we could add our own number of overall how they are doing. 😊

Thank you for your kind review! I'm happy to hear that my app is helping you track your senior dog's journey.I appreciate your suggestions about the rating scale. Your point about wanting more granularity makes perfect sense - every pet parent knows those "in-between" days! The current 5-point scale was indeed a conscious decision to keep daily tracking simple and sustainable, with the philosophy that 0=bad, 3=manageable, and 5=great, with steps in between for nuance.That said, your feedback about wanting more precision is valuable. I'll explore some options in the next update.Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with my app. Give your senior pup an extra hug from me! 🐾

Game changer for CCD pup

We’ve been using this for a couple months to better understand our dog with canine cognitive dysfunction (CCD, aka doggy dementia). It’s been an absolute game changer by helping to balance our emotions and assumptions with objective data. The trends and tips are helpful too. I’ve even started tracking for our younger dogs. Thank you for creating this app. It helps so much to have new insight into the wellbeing of our precious pups.
