How much should they eat?

Body condition and ideal weight
Vets score body shape from 1 to 9. Feel the ribs and look from above and from the side, then pick the closest description.
Age in human years
There is no exact formula. These are the bands vets use, and dogs age at different speeds depending on size.
Vaccine and parasite reminders
Make a calendar file with reminders for the next 12 months. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
