Is Your Dog Overweight? Take The Body Assessment Rating for Canines (BARC) Quiz Online

From: Pfizer Animal Health

In a recent study, (Ipsos-Reid Market Research) veterinarians estimated that 56% of all dogs they see are "overweight" or "obese."

And yet, when asked to evaluate their dog's body condition, only 22% of dog owners acknowledged their pet was overweight or obese!

Apparently, canine obesity is in the eye of the beholder!

We may easily recognize fat dogs when we see them, but when it comes to our own pets… well… let's just say that emotional attachment sometimes makes it hard to be objective.

Excess weight can lead to health problems that can compromise your dog's quality of life. Being overweight can even reduce your dog's life expectancy by up to two years.

You owe it to your dog to find out if he's at risk. How?

Take the BARC Quiz.

And be sure to consult your veterinarian if you have any concerns.
