my vet says well, what everyone else has said, you're supposed to be able to feel his ribs but she also said that when you feel it, you should be able to feel like a thin layer of fat kinda like when you pinch his skin (lightly) you should feel a thin spongy layer and not just a flap of skin. as long as the ribs are not sticking out when you pick him up from his front legs and hold him in sideways/ profile position.
