FAQs
How do I know if my dog is overweight?
Run your fingers along their ribcage. You should be able to feel ribs easily without pressing hard. From above, your dog should have a visible waist behind the ribcage. From the side, there should be an abdominal tuck. If none of these apply, your dog is likely overweight.

It varies widely by breed. Use the chart above as a guide, or look up your specific breed’s standard weight range. For weight loss support, visit our dog weight loss calculator.
