A long-term disability does not tell us everything about a dog’s preferences or daily experience. Make space to discuss what they enjoy, which tasks need support and what a workable routine looks like for your household.
Questions about equipment, access and ongoing care can be revisited as circumstances change. You can ask the team to explain who will help with each part and how your dog’s experience will be included in those decisions.
Bring this into the conversation
- Which daily activities matter to your dog?
- Where would practical support be useful?
