Lean Body Condition Journey
Organising your own observations while following a weight plan set by your veterinarian.
What it is
Organising your own observations while following a weight plan set by your veterinarian.
Why we created it
Several consistent observations tell you more than any single weigh-in.
Goal
A clear, consistent record to share with your veterinary team.
Before you begin
You’ll need
- Your current veterinary plan and targets.
- A consistent way to weigh your dog.
- Body and muscle condition references.
What you’ll do
Your first session
- Weigh your dog consistently and record food and extras.
- Use body and muscle condition alongside the weight trend.
- Note appetite, energy and wellbeing.
- Compare several observations, not a single change.
Things to notice
- Weight trend.
- Body and muscle condition.
- Appetite and wellbeing.
When to stop or get help
- Fast or unexplained weight loss, muscle decline or clinical concerns need review.
- Any calorie or treatment change comes from your veterinary plan.
