This resource is designed as a guide to aid in assessing a pets body condition.

The Animal Health Assessment Sheets can be used as a teaching or training aid, or for collection of animal health data.

The sheets provide a visual guide to assist in assessing the pets; body condition, and external parasites.

Two versions of the sheets are available for both dogs and cats aligning with the two usage options of the AMRRIC App. 

Veterinary Data Collection – Utilises a body scoring system of 1-9 commonly used in veterinary practice

Census Data Collection – Uses a description body scoring system of thin, ideal or fat – sufficient for conducting community wide animal censuses.

Both sheets provide a scale for recording parasites.
