As a responsible pet owner, you should be informed of your pet’s ideal weight. Most owners just bring their pets to their vet and let them assess if their pet’s weight is normal or not. However, it’s important to note that their ideal weight isn’t based on what’s on the scale.
Veterinarians use physical markers as well to examine if the dog’s weight is good or not. If the vet can feel or see their rib cage is considered as one of the markers during the examination. Moreover, assessing the dog’s waist area is also included in this.
Obesity in dogs is a result of multiple causes overall. Most of these dogs do not engage in a lot of exercise. They also consume huge amounts of food. Health conditions like Cushing’s, insulinoma, and hypothyroidism can trigger obesity in dogs as well.
