Does she seem to be overweight to you? You should be able to clearly feel their ribs without a layer of fat over them - but not to where you can feel every bone in their body. Have you asked your vet what they think of her body composition?
you know, i am a horrible judge of wether a dog is overweight...i always think dogs are too skinny and my hubby tells me i'm crazy LOL

i was just curious about this because of how much Bubba and Roxy eat, and I think I feed maggie twice that amount every day. but I will ask the vet next time we go in what they think. I guess I can feel her ribs...but she isn't bony at all. I have to TRY to feel her ribs
