If they are an ideal, healthy weight, you should be able to: See their waist, from the side and from above. Feel your dog’s ribs when running your hands over their side. Feel the spine and hipbones (but they shouldn’t be sticking out). Feel your dog’s tummy go in, not bulge out. Touch the base of your dog’s tail, and there shouldn’t be a build-up of fat.
