Assess your dog or cat's body condition score and get feeding recommendations.
The 1–9 Body Condition Score scale: 1–3 = Underweight, 4–5 = Ideal, 6–7 = Overweight, 8–9 = Obese. An ideal BCS is 4–5 on the 9-point scale. At ideal weight, ribs are easily felt but not seen, a waist is visible from above, and there's a slight abdominal tuck.
