Stool & body condition

Nobody enjoys taking either photo. Both earn their place in the record.

Stool

Send a photo and Petus scores it on the same seven-point scale vets use, from too firm to too loose.

One score answers "is this normal?"
Repeated scores build a trend and feed the GI timeline, so a food switch and a loose week can be read on the same axis.

Weight alone can't say "too heavy": 12 kg is trim for one dog and heavy for another. A body condition score can. Send two photos — from directly above and from the side — and Petus scores your pet on the nine-point scale clinics use, with what the score means for feeding.

The score pairs with Weight & trends: the number says what changed, the score says what it means.

For the body shots, catch your pet standing naturally. A sprawled cat or a sitting dog hides exactly the outline the score reads.
