Our pets bring so much love and joy into our lives, and one of the best ways we can show them love is by helping them stay healthy!
National Pet Obesity Awareness Day is a great reminder that maintaining a healthy weight can support your petโs mobility, comfort, and overall quality of life.
Do you know your petโs Body Condition Score (BCS)?
Here are three simple things to check:
โข Feel the ribs: Can you feel them beneath a thin layer of fat?
โข Look for a waist: Is there a visible waist behind the ribs when viewed from above?
โข Check the tummy: Does the abdomen tuck upward when viewed from the side?
Every pet is unique, and breed, age, and body shape matter. These checks are a helpful starting point, our veterinary team can help determine your petโs ideal body condition and create a plan tailored to their needs.
Letโs celebrate our pets by giving them the care they deserve because a healthy pet is a happier pet! ๐ฑ๐๐ถ
