Can you feel your dog's ribs? It's a quick and easy way to tell if your dog is carrying a few extra pounds. Simply place both of your thumbs on your dog's backbone and spread both hands across his rib cage. If you can't feel the ribs easily, your dog may need to lose a few pounds.
2 Profile Check
Examine your dog's profile. Does he have a clearly defined underline (abdomen) slightly tucked up behind the rib cage?
If not, it could be time to feed him Purina Fit & Trim.
3 Overhead Check
Looking at your dog from overhead, see if you can see a waist behind the ribs. Most dogs at a healthy weight should have an hourglass figure. If your dog doesn't have this shape, it could be time to feed him Purina Fit & Trim.
