  1. How Heavy Should My Dog Be? A Detailed Weight Chart Of Dog Breeds You might want to know how big and heavy your puppy might grow to be for various reasons like making sure they won’t be too big for your apartment or they’ll be big enough for comfy cuddles or just to check if they are healthy and not over or underweight and we are here to help you with that. Let’s know how heavy should my dog be? There is no chart that’ll tell you the ideal weight of the dog or exactly how much your dog should weigh, they just give you an estimate. Purebred puppies usually have a predictable growth rate and weight but it’s hard to predict the growth in the case of mixed-breed pups. Large breed dogs grow for a longer time whereas small breed dogs will stop growing at around 6 months of age. Your puppy will attain full height before it attains its adult weight. Factors on which the weight of your dog depends: 1. Breed: depending on whether your puppy falls in a large breed category or small, it’ll have a different growth rate and adult weight. Here’s how much a puppy should gain weekly depending on which breed category: Toy breeds gain approximately 0.3 lb per week Small breed puppy will gain approximately 0.6 lb per week Medium breed pups will gain 1 to 1.5 lbs per week Large breed pups may gain 2 lbs weekly Giant breed pups may gain 3 to 6 lbs weekly. 2. Sex: Male dogs usually grow bigger and weigh more than female dogs.

  2. 3. Desexing age: Neutering affects the growth of the dog as it changes the level of certain hormones in the body. Dogs that are castrated or spayed early on grow taller than dogs that are spayed later in life. 4. Nutrition: It’s important to give your dog a balanced diet in the right amount. The amount of food that your dog needs depend on its activity levels, rate of growth, the nutritional value of the food given. You can decide this with the help of a vet to make sure you are not over or underfeeding your dog. You should ideally feed your dog 3% of its entire body weight. If your dog is underweight you’ll be able to feel their ribs and their abdomen will be pretty tucked in compared to their thorax and pelvis. Whereas if your dog is overweight you won’t even be able to feel the ripple of their ribs with your hand. Their abdomen won’t be in line with the thorax and pelvis, it’ll be more bulged. 5. Exercise: Exercise plays an important role in keeping your dog mentally stimulated and physically fit. If you don’t exercise your dog enough they may become obese. Source: labradortraininghq.com

  3. Growth Your puppy will attain 30% of their adult weight by the time they are 4 months of age. At 6 months of age, they attain 75% of their total body weight. This approximation will help you to roughly calculate your puppy’s weight by finding out their adult weight from the dog breed weight chart below and taking out the percentage.

Weight is just a number, what matters more is whether your dog has a proportionate body, disease-free and healthy lifestyle. If your dog shows any discomfort or sudden gain or loss in weight, you must see a veterinarian regarding the same. For more information on pet care, breeds, or pet foods, visit PetsNurturing.
