Concerned about Your Dog’s Weight?

Maintaining a healthy weight can help support your dog’s overall health. When it comes to your dog’s weight, your veterinarian is the expert. You should always consult with your vet to find the best solutions and management options for your pet.

Assessing Your Dog’s Weight

There are 9 body condition scores used to assess a dog’s weight. Talk to your veterinarian about which matches your dog.

  1. LOOK – Check your dog’s body shape to see whether she is very thin, an ideal weight or overweight.
  2. FEEL – Severely defined ribs and waist may mean your dog is very thin. Ribs easily felt but not seen, with an obvious weight, may mean she is an ideal weight. If you cannot her feel ribs and her waist is absent, your dog may be obese.
  3. WEIGH – Work with your veterinarian to identify your dog’s weight and body condition score to help your vet determine your dog’s nutritional needs.

The feeding guidelines are according to your dog's current weight. Please remember that feeding guides are general recommendations only. The amount of food required by your dog may vary above or below that listed in this feeding guide. In consultation with your veterinarian, it is recommended that you weigh your dog 4 to 6 weeks after starting a new diet in order to adjust food intake to maintain or achieve an optimal body weight and body condition score. Consult your veterinarian for specific feeding guidelines for your dog.

Tinker, an English Cocker Spaniel, is a big eater and it's tough to keep his weight down to around 25 pounds. This food gives him quantity without calories. I also will add fresh green beans, microwaved and cooled, added to his food. He also like carrots for snacks.

Actually making a difference already!

Pepper was on the non prescription weight control RC food and she had a huge itching reaction to it that we had to switch her off it. Our vet recommended this prescription

Pepper was on the non prescription weight control RC food and she had a huge itching reaction to it that we had to switch her off it. Our vet recommended this prescription food because maybe she was missing the added skin benefits this food offers. She's been on this food for 3 weeks already and we can already see a slight difference and she isn't itchy and her fur is so shiny! We are always happy with RC food with our other dog, and we are happy this has worked for Pepper too.

Hi one of my two bags wasn’t air tight sealed. I couldn’t find a cut but a couple years ago this happened and I did notice it. Not too happy about feeding this to my pups as I’m not sure if the food is stale. What can I do?

Beyond Kind

The gentleman that helped me with my order went above and beyond. I was distraught. I am out of work and couldn't afford Johnny Cash's normal Royal Canin food

The gentleman that helped me with my order went above and beyond. I was distraught. I am out of work and couldn't afford Johnny Cash's normal Royal Canin food. So I bought a cheaper brand that had JC throwing up daily. I felt so bad and couldn't stop crying. The way you allow and probably train your representatives to do the very best they can to be as helpful as possible is so heartwarming. I mean no one wants to give customers a break these days. Chewy has consistently helped me every time I have needed it from the very beginning. I tell everyone I know to use Chewy. That you are one of the good ones.
