The instant health read from Bella's photo: body condition just right with a confident read, her coat looks glossy and well-kept, bright eyes and an easy stance, and a note that this is a wellness estimate from a photo, not a vet exam — The photo read notes the coat. The weekly check-in uses the same read.

Body condition over time, from Bella's weekly snapshots: a trend line marked Trending a little leaner, and a note that it is a wellness estimate from your photo, not a vet exam — Weekly snapshots on the trends screen, with Tailmates+.
