Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure used to determine whether an individual is at a healthy weight for their height. For dogs, calculating BMI can help assess if they are underweight, overweight, or have an ideal body condition.
The formula for dog BMI is similar to that of humans: (text{BMI} = frac{text{Weight (kg)}}{(text{Height (m)})^2}). This metric helps veterinarians and pet owners monitor a dog’s health, especially in managing weight-related issues.
Weight (kg) = Dog’s weight in kilograms
Height (m) = Dog’s height in meters
