Measuring Quality Of Life
Evaluation Of Your Own Life’s Quality
Remember that when you think about “quality of life,” you and your pet are included. During this time, it’s crucial to remember your needs.
Here are some inquiries you might make about yourself to monitor your quality of life:
- How much time will I devote to caring for my pet? How much free time do I have?
- How much would it cost me to care for my pet? What other obligations do I have in terms of money?
- What other obligations do I have, such as my job or parenting? Who else should I consider (my partner, kids, or other pets)?
- One who can assist me
- What other duties and stresses do I now have?
Examining your own life highlights which priorities need to be taken care of and in what sequence without lessening the love or care you are providing for your pet. Even though it might be extremely tough to make decisions due to financial or other constraints, it is crucial to take care of yourself and keep in mind that you have done and are continuing to do the best you can for your pet.
