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 semiâ€quantitatively by visual inspection and palpation. Its accuracy and reliability, however, are inherently limited.

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 semiâ€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 shortâ€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.
