Hip & joint health

How can I tell if my dog’s weight is healthy?

An easy way to check is by feeling along your dog’s ribs. If you can feel the ribs without pressing hard but can’t see them, you’re in a good spot! The ribs should feel like your knuckles when making a fist. A visible waist from above and a slight tuck-up from the side are also good indicators.

Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial because extra fat can increase inflammation, leading to joint issues like arthritis. Keeping your dog lean helps reduce the risks of heart disease, diabetes, and mobility problems. If your dog is struggling with arthritis, focusing on a balanced diet with Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA) and supplements like UC-II® collagen can make a significant difference. Always consult your vet for personalized advice.
