This is the vet-standard Body Condition Score method, done by feel โ it works across every breed because it reads your actual dog, not a chart. The target weight is an estimate (each point above ideal is roughly 10% over). For a real weigh-in and a safe plan, especially before a diet, check with your vet. Ready to adjust portions? Our Dog Food Calculator has a weight-loss mode.
