Dr. Wendy Asato.
Healthy Dog Club Reviewing Veterinarian
Dr. Wendy is a vet with over a decade of clinical experience caring for dogs at every life stage. Her practice has long focused on preventative musculoskeletal care β the small daily decisions that determine how a dog moves at age ten, not how it's treated at age fourteen.
Dr. Wendy reviewed every question on this scorecard, validated the scoring thresholds against the indicators she uses in clinic, and signed off on the post-assessment guidance you'll receive by email.
Most owners notice joint issues only when their dog is already in discomfort. This scorecard helps you spot the subtle, earlier signs β when prevention is still possible.
In Under 2 Minutes, You'll Discover...
A clear picture of where your dog stands today, and the simple next steps to keep them moving comfortably for years to come.

A simple number that places your dog into one of four risk categories β Low, Early, Moderate or High β so you know where to focus.
Early warning signs (if they exist)
Subtle changes in movement, posture and energy that most owners overlook β but that vets see as the very first signs of joint stress.
What stage your dog is really in
Forget guessing by age alone. Get a real-world read on whether your dog is in a prevention, support or recovery stage.
Simple next steps that actually work
No vague tips. Just clear, practical actions you can apply this week β built around what real veterinarians and canine nutritionists recommend.
Where Does Your Dog Stand?
The scorecard places your dog into one of four levels β each with specific next steps validated by Dr. Wendy. One is unlocked below.
Low Risk
Your dog is currently showing minimal signs of joint stress. This is the ideal time to focus on prevention, not correction.
Most owners in this category wait too long to act.
Early Risk
Your dog may be showing early signs of joint stress or entering a higher-risk stage. This is where
proactive support makes the biggest difference.
Moderate Risk
Your dog may be showing early signs of joint stress or entering a higher-risk stage. This is where
proactive support makes the biggest difference.
High Risk
Your dog is likely experiencing significant joint stress or mobility challenges. Consistent support
is essential to maintain comfort and quality of life.
A Guide That Actually
Tells You Something Useful.
Why This Scorecard Is Free.
I'm building Healthy Dog Club from Australia - with support from independent canine health experts around the world.
The goal is simple: to make daily joint care easier for dog owners who want to support their dog properly, without having to figure out confusing scoops, vague advice, or one-size-fits-all routines.
I created this scorecard because so much of the joint-health advice online is either too vague to act on, or too product-focused to feel genuinely helpful. Dog owners deserve a clear, vet-reviewed tool they can use today - before they're asked to buy anything.
Yes, eventually we'll tell you about our supplement. But only if it genuinely fits what your dog needs.
This scorecard is here to stand on its own. Take it, use it, and come back whenever you need it.
