This Body Condition Score chart explains how cats are assessed for healthy weight. A score of 4-5 means ribs are felt but not visible, and the waist is defined. Higher scores, like 7 to 9, signal excess fat that can shorten lifespan. Support your cat's health by learning more about nutrition and exercise during your next visit.🐾🐈

This Body Condition Score chart ranges from 1 (emaciated) to 9 (obese). Scores of 1–3 signal malnutrition or illness, while 7–9 increase the risk of arthritis, diabetes, and heart disease. The goal is a score of 5, where ribs are felt, the waist is visible, and health is balanced. Support your dog's health by learning more about nutrition and exercise during your next visit.🐾🐕

Studies show that about 1 in 3 dogs entering shelters was once part of a family. Life circumstances, not the dog’s behavior, often lead them there. Adopting gives these dogs a second chance to be loved, and a chance for you to gain a loyal companion. 🐕💛

✨ Meet Dr. Danielle Dietrich ✨
Associate Veterinarian at Care First Animal Hospital 🐾

Dr. Dietrich joined us after graduating vet school in May 2025, but she’s been caring for pets for 8+ years as a vet assistant and technician. 💙

Why vet med? 👉 “I’ve always loved medicine, and I knew I wanted to work with dogs and cats!”

Her favorite part of the job: connecting with pet parents through client education and helping families keep their pets healthy. 🐶🐱

Outside of work, you’ll find her on the tennis court, making homemade candles, tending her herb garden, or cheering on her New England teams (Go Pats! Go Sox! 🏈⚾).

Help us give Dr. Dietrich a warm welcome to the Care First family! 💙🐾

When we talk about quality of life, we’re talking about more than physical health. It’s about tracking your pet's progress in everyday life activities like playing with their favorite person or taking their usual daily walks. These assessments help us walk this path together with clarity, empathy, and love. 🐾💛
