Too skinny? Chubby? There must be a time in everyone\u2019s life where we thought this about ourselves, at least once. But have you considered the same about your little furry friend? Weight gain and obesity don\u2019t stop just with us, humans. Our lovely little furries face it too. A small amount of weight is still quite common. Nevertheless, you must keep your eye out for obesity and overweight.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">Weight gain in dogs doesn\u2019t end there.

You can\u2019t compare a greyhound with a bassinet&#8217;s weight chart. It differs with every breed, making it difficult to understand a normal standard or how it should look like. However, here are some methods to identify if your dog is overweight.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rib Coverage Inspection<\/li>\n<li>Overhead Inspection<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Vet Inspection&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Rib Coverage Inspection:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">This method is easy and ideal to try at home. Begin with placing both your thumbs on your dog\u2019s spine. Now, spread your hands and feel your dog\u2019s rib cage. Ideally, you should be able to feel your dog\u2019s rib cage under its coat and skin. But if your dog is overweight, it would be hard to feel them under layers of fat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">The Overhead Inspection:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">Similar to the rib coverage inspection, this method is ideal and straightforward to try at home. When looked at from above, i.e., standing near your dog and observing it from your level, your dog\u2019s waist should be a bit narrower than the rib cage, in other words, tucked in, looking somewhat similar to an hourglass in shape. However, if the waist is online with the ribcage or bulges past them, it indicates your dog might be overweight.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">Vet Inspection:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">If you are still unsure and need to confirm it, visiting your vet is the way to go. After a thorough examination, your veterinarian will help you with an ideal weight as a target, along with exercises and food habits to attain it.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">What to do if my dog is overweight?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">If you are positive that your dog is overweight, visit a veterinarian who will provide you with the ideal weight and a weight loss plan to achieve it.
