Canine BCS (9-scale) — quick text cues

  • 4–5: Ribs palpable with slight fat; visible waist from above; abdominal tuck.
  • 6–7: Ribs hard to feel; waist broadening; fat deposits over spine/tail base.
  • 8–9: Heavy fat; no waist; health risks — veterinary nutrition plan.

Remember

  • Sighthounds and some working dogs can look lean while healthy — your vet’s palpation beats photos alone.

Educational only — not a substitute for your veterinarian, trainer, or airline.
