You can use the scales for free in most veterinary surgeries, or you can place your pet on the scales at home. The number on the scales can easily determine whether your pet is underweight, overweight, or at a healthy weight based on the type of pet, breed, and size. Our pets, like us, can step on the scale too. If your pet is less active, surrendered to the sofa, or has difficulty breathing, this could be due to weight gain. You are the best judge of your pet’s behaviour, so this step is usually a solid indicator of any weight gain. Alternatively, if your pet’s body has a defined waist and rear, they are likely to be at a healthy weight. When looking at their shape, if they appear rounded and oval-shaped, this could signal that your pet is overweight. Simply glancing at your pet’s shape is a quick and easy approach to assessing their weight. If you are unable to feel the spine when pressing more firmly there is a risk they’re overweight. You should be able to feel bones with light pressure however, if the dorsal spinus processes (the bumps along the spine) are protruding, this may suggest that your pet is underweight. The same test can be performed on your pet’s spine. On the other hand, if you have to press more firmly to feel your pet’s ribs, this may indicate that your pet has excess fat around the ribcage and is overweight. Moreover, if you can feel your pet’s ribs with light pressure, they are in good health. If the bones are prominent this can be a sign your pet is underweight. You can normally tell whether your pet is underweight or overweight by feeling their ribs. But initially, how do you know whether your pet is overweight? Feel Their Ribs Often, there is no need to be concerned, and you can adopt new habits to help your pet lose a few pounds. Pets can also develop arthritis and other joint problems as a direct result of being overweight. Conditions linked to poor diet include diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Over indulgence can play its part in shortening any animal’s lifespan and although most pet owners are cautious it’s important that you are aware of the damage you could be doing. Luxuries that owners admitted to feeding their pets included cake, chocolate, biscuits, chips, takeaway scraps and, most shocking of all, alcohol. According to research by the vet care charity PDSA, a massive 5.5 million cats, dogs and rabbits are fed treats every day. We always hope that our pets are in good health, but unfortunately, this is not always the case.
