My dog has fat rolls when sitting. Is she overweight or healthy?

Question

Is my dog overweight? She weighs 17.6 pounds. She eats 315 calories per day (3/4 cup total) she does have some fat rolls when she sits down at the end of her tail. Is this ok? Thanks! Pet's info: Dog | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Female | spayed | 5 years old | 17 lbs

She looks like a perfect weight. She has a waist yet I cannot see her ribs. The roll is likely fine since everything else looks great! And it sounds like you are feeding her the appropriate amount 3/4-1 cup per day.
