📚 Keep Your Malinois at a Healthy Weight
Maintaining the ideal weight isn’t just about looks — it’s essential for joint health, stamina, and overall longevity. Here’s how to monitor and manage it effectively:
✅ Check from Above:
Look for a visible waistline behind the ribs. A straight or bulging shape can indicate overweight.
✋ Feel the Ribs:
You should be able to feel the ribs without pressing hard, but they shouldn’t be sharply visible (unless underweight).
🥩 Balanced Diet:
Feed a high-quality diet measured by weight, not “eyeballed.” Adjust portions based on activity level, not just age.
🏃 Daily Exercise:
Malinois are working dogs — they thrive on physical and mental stimulation. Regular training, walks, and play sessions help burn excess energy and calories.
📅 Regular Weigh-ins:
Track weight monthly and adjust food or exercise if you notice gradual changes.
