I got the kit at Chewy. It answered a question about why my Chihuahua was so hefty, when I did not over feed him. He is 62% Chihuahua, 25% Cocker, & balance mixed other.

He has the tiny, spindly legs, a snout somewhat like a pug, but his body is shaped like a football. He weighs 11 pounds.

It was well worth the cost of $80.00.
