Healthy Weight Restoration
Recording progress when your veterinarian has judged weight gain appropriate.
What it is
Recording progress when your veterinarian has judged weight gain appropriate.
Why we created it
Weight gained isn’t automatically muscle or recovery, so body and muscle condition are recorded alongside it.
Goal
Consistent records to bring to your veterinary team.
Before you begin
You’ll need
- Your existing veterinary plan.
- A consistent way to weigh your dog and note intake and appetite.
What you’ll do
Your first session
- Start a consistent record of weight, intake and appetite.
- Note body and muscle condition.
- Keep the current plan rather than feeding more automatically.
- Share the trend with your veterinarian.
Things to notice
- Weight trend.
- Body and muscle condition.
- Appetite and intake.
When to stop or get help
- Unexpected swelling, breathing getting worse, muscle loss or unexplained decline needs veterinary assessment.
