Compare what was actually recorded
Compare pet observations explains comparable signals, units and periods. It works through a fictional example and shows why a partial day stays out of a complete-day average.
Comparison worksheet presents the same method as a numerical worksheet. Its results describe entered observations, not normal intake or a maintained personal reference.
Keep a practical log
Cat drinking log keeps a measured amount beside its collection window, spills, shared access and completeness. It is not an intake calculator.
Dog appetite log separates descriptive appetite from measured food amounts and preserves changes in food or method.
Blank observation template offers a reusable HTML table and downloadable CSV. No registration or email capture is needed. Import into an app is not assumed.
Prepare a history another person can understand
Prepare a pet history for a vet gives a visit checklist covering dates, original documents, questions and source references. Sending a record and confirmed receipt remain separate.
Multi-pet records shows how to keep each pet's observations distinct, including a fictional shared-bowl mix-up.
Make missingness visible
Missing pet observations explains recorded zero, partial coverage and an unrecorded day.
Evidence and coverage provides a source and completeness method. Recording quality is not a pet-health score.
Personal reference distinguishes the mean of a selected period from a maintained pet-specific reference. It does not invent PETICO's internal formulas.
