Food is part of family life, training and the little rituals we share with our dogs. A conversation about body condition works best when there is space to describe those routines honestly, including who feeds your dog and what a usual day looks like.
Bring questions about food and activity to your veterinary team. Rehabilitation planning can take account of the guidance you receive and the practicalities of your household. This page does not provide calorie targets, diet plans or exercise prescriptions.
