Dogs with chronic musculoskeletal conditions often suffer sleep disturbances alongside reduced well-being. This retrospective study collected real world data using the owner reported Sleep and Night-time Restlessness Evaluation (SNoRE 3.0) and the VetMetrica Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) questionnaire to track changes before and after treatment with regenerative medicine. Key objectives were to quantify how sleep quality correlates with physical, emotional, and social aspects of canine QoL and to evaluate the sensitivity of sleep metrics as treatment outcome indicators.
