A discussion about body condition should leave room for your dog’s history, current care and daily routine. Ask how the team assesses it and what information would help them understand the whole picture.
Food may be part of family routines, learning and appointments as well as meals. Sharing that context gives the relevant professional a better basis for advice and makes room to discuss what is manageable at home.
