Nutritional assessment guidelines recommend that veterinary teams assess the body composition of pets at every visit. The objective of this study was to determine how veterinary teams in Ontario, Canada assess body composition in cats and dogs. An online survey was distributed to veterinary teams, with questions on how often body composition is assessed, what methods are used, and demographics. The results demonstrated that 66.7% of respondents reported always assessing body composition. Of those, body condition scoring (99.4%) and body weight (99.4%) were used most often, with morphometry (41.2%) and muscle condition scoring (33.9%) used less frequently. Veterinary technicians were less likely to assess body composition compared with veterinarians. These results indicate that veterinary teams do not assess body composition as indicated by nutritional assessment guidelines. Thus, education of veterinary teams is needed, as body composition should be assessed for every patient as part of a complete nutritional assessment.
营养评估指南建议兽医团队在每次诊疗时评估宠物的身体成分。本研究的目的是确定加拿大安大略省的兽医团队如何评估猫和狗的身体成分。一项在线调查被分发给兽医团队，问题涉及身体成分评估的频率、使用的方法以及人口统计学信息。结果表明，66.7%的受访者报告总是评估身体成分。其中，身体状况评分（99.4%）和体重（99.4%）是最常用的方法，而形态测量法（41.2%）和肌肉状况评分（33.9%）使用频率较低。与兽医相比，兽医技术人员评估身体成分的可能性较小。这些结果表明，兽医团队并未按照营养评估指南的要求评估身体成分。因此，需要对兽医团队进行教育，因为作为全面营养评估的一部分，应对每位患者进行身体成分评估。
