Calculating Your Dog’s BMI

Please take the time to fill in the form below. For the most accurate results please ensure all measurements are correct and you have selected the correct breed.

Hitting the calculate button will take you to a page with your results. On that page will be your pet’s BMI (body mass index) value and whether or not they may be overweight, underweight or an ideal weight. Their will also be a table listing the ideal BMI values for your chosen breed.

This BMI calculator was developed by PetSci and can be used as a fairly accurate method of determining the weight status (i.e. overweight, underweight or ideal weight) of your dog. The calculation is made on a per breed basis (you can request the addition of a new breed here – more will be added over time) taking in to account the variations in height and weight.

      Thank you for your comment, I’ve taken the time to add the Cockapoo breed – unfortunately (as you probably know) the Cockapoo is a cross-breed and doesn’t “breed true”. Meaning that the pups will not have consistently predictable characteristics making it hard to actually determine the BMI.

      I’ve added the breed anyway – let me know what results you get and whether you agree – you can contact me at admin @ petsci.co.uk

      Thanks for using the PetSci BMI calculator!
