Is this symptom checker a substitute for a veterinarian?

No. This tool is strictly educational. It does not diagnose conditions, does not prescribe treatment, and cannot replace a hands-on veterinary exam. Always contact a licensed veterinarian for medical concerns about your dog.

How does the risk level get calculated?

The tool combines the symptoms you select with duration, severity, onset speed, your dog's age, and exposure factors like toxins or parasites into an educational scoring model. Certain symptom combinations that are widely recognized as emergencies always show the highest urgency level, regardless of the calculated score.

Does this tool store my dog's information?

No personal information is sent to a server. Answers are kept only in your browser's local storage so you can resume later, and you can clear them at any time using the reset button.

What should I do if the tool shows a red result?

A red result means the symptoms you described are commonly associated with situations that warrant prompt veterinary attention. Contact your veterinarian or an emergency animal hospital right away rather than waiting.

Can I use this for puppies and senior Aussiedoodles?

Yes. The tool asks for your dog's age and adjusts its educational guidance, since puppies and senior dogs are generally considered higher-risk groups for many conditions.
