Muscle condition scoring is a hands-on method for evaluating lean body mass that can be used as part of nutritional assessments.

Preventing and managing excess weight can help dogs and cats lead better, and importantly, longer lives.

Up to 63% of pet cats and 59.3% of pet dogs are overweight or obese, and this condition is linked with serious health risks. However, many pet owners do not recognize their dog or cat is overweight or how nutrition can help manage healthy weight–and a healthier life—for their pet.
