Helping an overweight dog slim down is all about the trend over weeks, not a single weigh-in. PetHealthLog lets you log weight over time, keep an eye on meals and treats, and see the line heading the right way - so you and your vet can tell whether the plan is working. Free, no account, works offline.
Start tracking - it's freeA lot of dogs carry extra weight, and it matters - it's linked to joint strain, less energy and other health issues. But weight loss is slow and gradual, and a single weigh-in tells you very little on its own. What matters is the direction over weeks.
That's hard to judge without a record. Without a steady log, it's easy to think the diet is working when the weight is actually creeping, or to give up on a plan that was quietly succeeding.
PetHealthLog is free, needs no account and works offline, so logging a weigh-in and keeping an eye on meals and treats builds the trend line you and your vet can read.
Record each weigh-in and see the trend on a timeline, so you're judging the direction over weeks rather than a single number.
Note the feeding routine and treats alongside the weight, so it's clear what's driving the trend.
Track measured meals and any vet-set feeding plan, and keep it consistent day to day - the thing weight loss actually depends on.
Keep weigh-ins, vet visits and notes on one private timeline, so a weight-management conversation starts from real data.
Export a clean weight history to bring to the vet to check progress and adjust the plan.
If your vet recommends a weight-management plan, these are common supporting options. The feeding amount and any prescription diet should come from your vet, matched to your dog.
