My Dog Is Fat

The plan

Free, no signup. Every number below is worked out, not looked up — see exactly how on /how-it-works.

01Your animal
02Weight & body condition

A plan for weight loss is produced for BCS 5–9. Below 5, the tool will tell you why it isn't producing one.

04Health screen

This tool never diagnoses. It asks these questions because certain conditions and signs change whether a weight-loss plan is safe to produce at all.

Diagnosed conditions

Current medications

In the last few weeks, has your animal shown any of these?

05Optional
06The food

Also on the bag. It is not needed for the gram figure — it lets the plan check whether this food still carries enough protein at a reduced portion.

07Meals

Weigh the food you already give, for a week, changing nothing. It lets the plan check itself against a second method and tell you how big a change it is asking for. Leave it blank and nothing is lost.

What you feed only equals what they need if their weight held still on it.
