Is my Bloodhound overweight?

59% of dogs are overweight. Check your Bloodhound's Body Condition Score (BCS) — if you can't easily feel their ribs or they have no visible waist, they may be overweight. Take our free 2-minute BCS assessment.

Question 5

How can I tell if my Bloodhound is overweight?

Accepted Answer

Check three signs: (1) You can't feel your Bloodhound's ribs easily under the fur. (2) From above, there's no visible waist behind the ribs. (3) From the side, the belly doesn't tuck up after the chest. If any of these apply, your Bloodhound may be carrying extra weight. Use the Body Condition Score checker above for a quick assessment, or consult your vet.
