Thanks for the chart. It is extremely helpful. Another helpful tool in figuring out if your dog is overweight is to take a quick quiz - check it out at www.stopcanine obesity.com/barc

Here's the link to participating vets around the country. http://stopcanineobesity.com/main/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=18. Let me know how it goes.
