Forget the scale. Your hands and eyes tell a better story. ๐๐ถ
Hereโs a vet-approved 3-step home check every pet parent should know:
โจ ๐. ๐๐ข๐ ๐๐ก๐๐๐ค
Run your hands along your dogโs sides. You should feel the ribs easily โ like the back of your knuckles โ with a thin layer of fat over them.
โจ๐. ๐๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐ข๐๐ฐ
Look from above. A healthy dog has a visible hourglass waist, not a straight tube.
โจ ๐. ๐๐ข๐๐ ๐๐ข๐๐ฐ
From the side, there should be a gentle abdominal tuck โ the belly curves up behind the ribs.
โ ๏ธ ๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฐ๐๐ญ๐๐ก ๐๐จ๐ซ:
โข Too chubby? No waist, ribs hard to feel
โข Too skinny? Ribs clearly sticking out, sharp backbone
Breed charts donโt always work (especially for mixed breeds).
๐ Trust your hands. Trust your eyes. And when in doubt, always check with your vet.
