Is Your Dog The Right Weight

Here's how to find out is your dog is overweight:

Rib check: Plasce both thumbs on your dog's backbone and run your fingers along his rib cage. If you can't easily fell his ribs with slight pressure, your dog is probably overweight.

Profile Check: Take a look at your dog from the side. If your dog is at the right weight, you should see a clearly defined abdomen.

Overhead Check: Stand directly over your dog while he's standing up. You should see a clearly defined hour-glass shape. If not, your dog is too heavy.

Even a little weight gain can be bad for your dog. Remember an extra five pounds on a dog that should weigh 17 pounds is like a person who should weigh 170 pounds gaining 50 pounds.
