What is Body Condition Score?
Body Condition Score (BCS) is a hands-on assessment used by veterinarians worldwide to evaluate whether a dog is at a healthy weight. It uses a 1-9 scale based on the WSAVA (World Small Animal Veterinary Association) guidelines.
This wizard will guide you through feeling and looking at specific areas of your dog's body to determine their score and calculate a target weight if needed.
What you'll need:
- Your dog nearby for the hands-on assessment
- Your dog's current weight
- 2-3 minutes of time
