Accuracy of the use of triaxial accelerometry for measuring daily activity as a predictor of daily maintenance energy requirement in healthy adult Labrador Retrievers.

Objective: To determine accuracy of the use of triaxial accelerometry for measuring daily activity as a predictor of maintenance energy requirement (MER) in healthy adult Labrador Retrievers.

Animals: 10 healthy adult Labrador Retrievers.

Procedures: Dogs wore an accelerometer for two 2-week periods, with data on daily activity successfully collected for 24 to 26 days.
