Body condition assessment is a practical assessment that uses a numerical scoring system based on the feel of the animal, rather than descriptions based simply on visual assessment. In winter, it is more effective to conduct a practical assessment of the condition of the body, rather than a visual one, since a winter coat can often hide visual signs that can only be assessed through a practical assessment.
The BCS value determines whether your pet is obese or not. Today there is one simple method for determining excess weight in a dog. This is called the body condition score (BCS).
