Comparison of growth patterns in healthy dogs and dogs in abnormal body condition using growth standards
Fig 5
Median weight curves by age (on the centile scale) for obese, overweight and underweight dogs from the Body Condition Veterinary Records dataset in 5 size classes.
The trajectories for obese, overweight and underweight dogs are depicted by solid light green, tawny, and light blue lines, respectively, whilst the growth standard centiles are indicated by dotted horizontal lines. For obese and overweight dogs the centiles cross upwards, while for underweight dogs they cross downwards.
