Is he too skinny?

[Fran27]

Boris used to be a little tad overweight, so we reduced his food, and he's been having lots and lots of excercise with Tips. But now I'm worried that he's too skinny...

I took this picture last week :

What do you think?

Think he look great and really handsome lil doggy

I think he looks fine. Are his ribs showing at all? Do they feel too prominent when you rub your hands down his side/back? If not, then he's just right.

Looks fine from the pic. Can you feel his ribs or his backbone?

I think he looks fit. Sometimes it's hard to adjust to the way a dog looks after losing excess weight.

I think he looks great.

Thanks guys. I don't know why I'm worried, we really don't see his ribs or anything...

Place your hands on his back. Thumbs connecting and fingers going down to his sides.

Gently feel his ribs. If you can easily feel them then he's underweight.

If you cant feel them then he's overweight If you feel them but they are not too clear, then he's just right

He looks good in the picture

He looks pretty good. Try the rib test. If you can feel them with a little pressure, he's at a good weight, if you just feel a roll of chub, he's not at a good weight lol.
