Stanley

I think he’s looking a bit skinny. Does he look like his food needs upping a bit? It’s really hard to get a decent pic of him.

(Stanley’s thinking please say yes please say yes).

He's looking lean, I think a couple of extra treats would be fine, but I don't think he's underweight. Bear looks the same at the moment, though he's got a slightly thicker coat.

 

[Sophiedoodle]

I think he looks perfect!

 

[Oberon]

Not too skinny. Sorry, Stanley!

 

[Jacqui-S]

Looks fit. Don't want any podge.

He certainly makes Maxx look beefy and our vet is happy with his weight

 

[Candy]

Stanley looks gorgeous! Hungry, ( but what sort of a Labrador would he be if he wasn't? ) but still gorgeous.

 

[Selina27]

He looks good to me

 

[kateincornwall]

He looks spot on to me , sorry pal x

 

[Jen]

When I’m out of isolation I might pop to the vets to have him weighed. 25kg is his fighting weight and I feel like he looks really scrawny at the minute. He’s laid down at the minute and I can see his hip bones sticking out really clearly, I’m sure he’s never been like that before.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts - Stanley says hmpfff

 

[Emily]

Depends on the dog I think. Ella has a big ribcage and I think she'd probably be a bit skinny if her waist dipped is as much as Stanley's looks. She also sits around 25kg as a good weight

Maxx has a very large frame. Last vet visit he was 42 kilos from memory and the vet said he was ok

Stanley is a smol Labrador isn't he? He looks fine in these 2 photos. What do you feel when you run your hands lightly over him? He has a really lovely waist.

Yeah he’s quite small for a male lab. Can just feel his ribs and a lot of fur

I don't think he's too skinny, but at the same time when Carbon looks like that, I up his treats or meals a bit for a few days. I just feel bad for him when he shows his ribs as it usually happens if he's been doing a lot of exercise and I've kept his food the same.

So there, Stanley - there's one vote for ya to chow down.

 

[Granca]

He doesn’t look too skinny to me either - but maybe he could just have one small extra treat a day!

I think you know your dog best. If you’re worried, best to take him to your vet. Has he suddenly started to look skinny? Do you have a home scale? Weigh yourself first. Then pick him up and get back on the scale. He might have worms. Don’t want to scare you! But Snowie suddenly started to look thin (many years ago) so I upped his food. Turned out he had tapeworm!

He looks great from the side, but I wouldn't feel bad about upping his food a smidge until you're out of iso and can get him weighed.
