What kind of site is tiny wag?
A site that organizes the real-life logs of Brussels Griffon "Dory" in a form you can use for concerns, health changes, and tool selection. You can use it not just to read the diary, but as an entry point when you're unsure.
Which page should I look at first?

How much can I trust the numbers?
The numbers are not a diagnosis or cause confirmation, but a clue for comparing with Dory's own past. Don't decide based on single-day changes alone; read them together with context like meals, walks, weather, and events.

- Use the issue checklist when the concrete problem is already clear.
