    Snippet: The body condition score (BCS) is the most commonly used system for the assessment of nutritional status of dogs. It estimates body fat stores subjectively and semi‐quantitatively by visual inspection and palpation. Its accuracy and reliability, however, are inherently limited. For a better assessment of overall body condition, we have previously developed a BCS palpation model, but it did not help the visual inspection part of the process. A m.....
    Document: The body condition score (BCS) is the most commonly used system for the assessment of nutritional status of dogs. It estimates body fat stores subjectively and semi‐quantitatively by visual inspection and palpation. Its accuracy and reliability, however, are inherently limited. For a better assessment of overall body condition, we have previously developed a BCS palpation model, but it did not help the visual inspection part of the process. A morphometric method to estimate the percent body fat has been developed. However, this method cannot be applied to short‐legged breeds. The purpose of the present study was, therefore, to develop a clinically feasible, new morphometric method for the assessment of body condition of the dog.
