Question Would you tell someone you thought their dog was overweight?

A couple came in with their dog. The couple were young and in shape. I thought the dog was overweight, if not obese by the first look at her. Then they mentioned "she used to be really overweight" but lost about 3 lbs after she got sick. I asked how much she weighed now, they said about 9 lbs, but really I think she was more like 12. She was a small dog, mixed breed, should have been around 7 lbs tops, she was actually shorter than Uni (length wise, not tall wise, everyone is shorter than Uni tall wise LOL) I didn't say anything, but I just wondered if any of you have said anything. Keeping in mind the health of this baby. She really was pretty overweight. No waist at all, in fact she had a beer belly, bulging out. But I don't want to be a know it all, unless they asked my opinion, like Oh her hair is so soft, what do you do/feed/etc? then that gives me the ok to start telling them all I know.
