- Notes:
  > Keeping an eye on your dog’s weight is a simple yet effective way to monitor their health. Obesity can lead to various health problems, such as joint issues and diabetes.
  > 
  > Monitor their weight by regularly checking their size and observing their body condition. One good way to check is to feel their ribs — you should be able to feel but not see them. 
  > 
  > Weigh them periodically and consult your vet if you're concerned about fluctuations. They can provide guidance on diet and exercise adjustments to achieve a healthy weight, ensuring your dog remains fit and happy.
