Is your pet at a healthy weight? The body condition score chart is a more accurate tool than just looking at the number on the scale. Keep these points in mind when evaluating your pet's body condition:
-You should be able to feel their ribs under a slight fat covering.
-Your pet should have a visible waistline when viewed from above.
-Your pet should have an abdominal tuck.
-If you can see your pet’s ribs and spine, they are too thin.
-On the other hand, if your pet has no discernible waistline and their belly sags, they’re too heavy.
