Sightline · Pre-launch
Pain in pets is measurable.
So is quality of life.
A pain and quality-of-life tracking tool for dogs and cats, built by working vets. Short weekly check-ins become the Sightline Score, a single trajectory you and your vet can read at a glance.
Owners answer a short adaptive assessment each week, tailored to their pet's species, age, and concerns. Sightline computes a composite score, plots the trajectory, and on request emails a clinical-grade Sightline Report straight to the pet's vet.
How is your pet, really?
It is hard to know whether your pet is having a good week or a bad one when you see them every day. Subtle changes in mobility, comfort or appetite are easy to miss in the moment, and difficult to compare against last month.
Your vet sees these things in fifteen-minute snapshots. Pain in dogs and cats is famously underdetected, and small declines often go unnoticed until they are not small.
Sightline gives you a structured way to record how your pet is doing each week, so you and your vet are looking at the same picture when it matters.
Two ways people use Sightline
Same tool, two patterns of care.
Vets typically send owners here for one of two reasons. The underlying Sightline Score and trajectory chart are the same in both cases. What changes is how often you check in, and which add-on tools surface alongside the core assessment.
Pain, recovery, and treatment
For owners watching how their pet responds to treatment or how a chronic condition is moving over time. The Sightline Score charts week-to-week change so a treatment effect, a flare-up, or a slow decline is visible against a real baseline rather than guessed at from memory.
- After an operation: tracking recovery and surfacing setbacks early
- Starting a new pain medication: tracking response over the first weeks
- Arthritis or chronic pain: watching progression and treatment effect
- Recurring conditions: catching shifts before they become worrying
Weekly check-in. Adaptive item set, 12 to 16 questions, three to five minutes.
Quality of life and end-of-life
For owners caring for a pet whose treatment is no longer about getting better, but about living well day to day. Sightline becomes a daily journal, with palliative-specific tools alongside the Score, and the option to share with family members or a vet without an account.
- Cancer or terminal illness: tracking comfort and good days vs hard days
- Late-stage organ disease: watching for signs to escalate
- End-of-life decision support: structured input alongside JOURNEYS and HHHHHMM
- Hospice care at home: a shared journal for the people closest to your pet
Daily check-in. Smaller comfort-focused subset, under two minutes. JOURNEYS available weekly.

Sightline is built by ConciergeVet, a UK veterinary practice run by Alastair and Claire Greenway. Both have spent years asking owners variations of "how has she been?" in the consult room, and watching how hard that question is to answer well from memory alone.
Methodology
Eight domains. A weekly score. A trajectory.
Sightline asks the questions a vet would ask in clinic, in plain English. The 44-item assessment branches by your pet's species, age, conditions, and the reason you are here: a healthy young dog after an operation sees a different short subset than a senior cat in palliative care. Each item lands in one of eight clinical domains: mobility, comfort and rest, activity and engagement, eating and drinking, demeanour, toileting, grooming, and the activities you choose to track yourself. Most pets check in weekly; pets in quality-of-life focus mode check in daily with a shorter comfort-focused subset.
A weighted composite produces the Sightline Score, on a 0-to-100 scale where lower is better. The Score is an internal clinical composite, informed by the published veterinary literature on pain and quality-of-life assessment. It is not itself a validated instrument, and it is not presented as one. The value is in the trajectory: a single weekly score is a data point, but a series across months is a curve a vet can read at a glance. When something is shifting, the curve shifts first. When a treatment is working, the curve says so before anyone else can.
The Sightline Report is the artefact that closes the loop. A short, dense PDF formatted for clinic, with the Score, the per-domain breakdown, the trajectory, and your own cover note. Sized to be read in sixty seconds.
The Sightline Report
A short, dense PDF your vet can read in sixty seconds. The Sightline Score and trajectory, the per-domain breakdown that produced this week's number, the activities you chose to track, and your own cover note. Built to be read alongside your pet's clinical record, not in place of it.
Quality-of-life focus mode
For the harder seasons
When the question shifts from "will they get better" to "how are they today", Sightline becomes a daily journal you can share with the people who care. The Sightline Score and trajectory chart still anchor the page, but the cadence becomes daily, the question set is shorter, and palliative-specific tools surface alongside.
Owners can self-select this mode at onboarding when they are already worried about their pet's quality of life, without waiting for a formal palliative-care conversation with their vet.
- Daily Sightline Score with comfort-focused short check-in
- JOURNEYS quality-of-life scale by Dr Katie Hilst, weekly
- Pawspice (HHHHHMM) by Dr Alice Villalobos, on demand
- Trusted Person link so family can follow without an account
- Daily diary prompts for the small moments worth recording
What your vet sees
The trajectory, the domains, the audit trail.
When you share a Sightline Report with your vet, they see the Sightline Score plotted across the past weeks, the per-domain breakdown behind this latest number, and the activities you have been tracking. The methodology is published in full, and every score on the page can be traced back to the version of the algorithm that produced it.
