Find your pet's ideal weight and Body Condition Score (BCS) in 3 seconds for free. No login required for dog and cat weight assessment.
Obesity is the most common health threat to modern pets. Knowing your pet's ideal weight is the first step toward successful weight management.
Using the standard 1-to-9 Body Condition Score (BCS), this tool estimates ideal weight and overweight percentage for free in just 3 seconds.
Use your pet's ideal weight to set targets in the Daily Food Calculator and Hydration Calculator.
On a 9-point scale, a score of 4 or 5 is considered ideal. This means the ribs are easily felt but not seen, and a waist is visible from above.
A score of 6 indicates a pet is slightly overweight. It is an early warning sign to adjust their diet and activity before health problems arise.
Run your hands gently along their sides. You should be able to feel the individual ribs under a thin layer of fat, similar to the back of your hand.
