⚖️ Weight Management for Overweight Dogs

An interactive 3D dog-body-condition model with a weight slider that reshapes the model and updates a calorie/BMI-style gauge alongside an ideal-weight target ring.

An interactive 3D dog body-condition model that reshapes its ribcage, waist and belly as you move a weight slider, while a vet-style 1–9 Body Condition Score gauge and a floor ring compare current weight against the breed's ideal.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Weight is only meaningful relative to a dog's frame size — the same kilogram figure can be lean on a large breed and dangerously obese on a small one. The rib-check overlay and BCS gauge show how vets actually assess body condition by feel and sight, not the scale alone.

🎮 How to Use

Pick a breed frame size, then drag the weight slider to watch the body reshape and the BCS gauge and calorie/weeks-to-goal stats update live. Toggle the rib-check overlay to see ribs fade under fat cover, and the ideal-weight ring to compare current size against target.

💡 Did You Know?

A landmark Labrador Retriever lifetime study found dogs kept at an ideal body condition lived, on average, about 1.8 years longer than overweight littermates fed the same food ad libitum.
