Rechecks and Tracking

Consistent tracking helps you and your vet see what works and when to adjust.

Why metrics matter

• Itch score (0–10) — Daily logging shows trends; a >50% reduction is often considered successful.
• Lesion scores — Your vet may use CADESI or similar to measure skin changes.
• Quality of life — Owner questionnaires can capture how much itch affects daily life.

Typical recheck schedule

• 2–4 weeks after starting therapy.
• 10–12 weeks after diet trial (if applicable).
• Every 3–6 months once stable.

What to bring to rechecks

• Track the Itch report — PDF with itch history, treatments, and parasite prevention.
• Notes — Any flare triggers (season, stress, diet slip).
• Questions — Compliance issues, side effects, or concerns.

Flare triggers to note

• Seasonal pollen or weather changes.
• Stress (travel, new pet, household change).
• Diet or medication “cheats.”
• Missed parasite prevention doses.

For your vet
Track the Itch reports provide itch score trends, variability, elevated/extreme day counts, and treatment compliance. Use them alongside lesion scores and QOL indices for outcome assessment.
