Is my dog too thin?

Before any smarty pants says just take her to the vet, I will. It was just an observation i made today and figured I’d see what any other pet parents think! She’s a bully and was the runt, so while she is meant to be a thicker build, she is on the thinner side. Bully’s do tend to have barrel ribs too and a prominent waist even when they are chonkyyy. Her ribs tend to always protrude. I do think she has lost some weight but not a ton. it’s summer and we are a little more active now than in the winter months. When i feel her belly her ribs are def right there but i cannot tell if the only thing between them and my hand is skin or just a very low body fat %. Her coat is healthy and she is neverrr lethargic & not eating. I feed her fresh pet, the recommended amount twice a day with extras like pb, fish oil and any other dog friendly foods to up her calorie count and get her more nutritional value. I just have not seen her ribs as prominent (or at least i don’t think i have?) and am thinking she could have giardia from our little run ins with an open garbage bag on walks or another type of parasite. see photos attached! I’m a hypochondriac sometimes so I guess that’s rubbing off on my dog too now lol. Thanks in advance !!

It's good to be vigilant about your dog's health. a vet visit will help you understand what's going on and how best to support her.
