Dog weight FAQ
What is my dog’s ideal weight?
It depends on breed, sex and build. The breed’s typical range is a reference, but your own dog’s ideal weight is for your vet to judge, looking at body shape too (the body condition score).
How can I tell if my dog is overweight?
The number on the scale is not enough. People usually check the ribs (you should feel them without pressing), the waist (visible from above) and the belly (slightly tucked up from the side). If you cannot feel the ribs or see a waist, talk to your vet.
When does a dog stop growing?
Small breeds finish growing around 10 months, medium ones around 12, large and giant ones keep going for another 6–12 months. So adult weight is reached at different ages.
What if my dog is a mixed breed?
There is no breed range. Your vet can tell you which weight suits your dog by looking at size, build and body shape: track weight over time to see how it changes.
Do dogs gain weight after spaying or neutering?
Many neutered dogs tend to put on weight more easily: check weight and body shape regularly and ask your vet how to adjust feeding.
How do I track weight over time?
Log a weigh-in every now and then and look at the chart. With Pawsly you record your dog’s or cat’s weight and see the trend, including for growing puppies.
Typical breed-standard values (FCI, AKC) as reported on Wikipedia, consulted in October 2026. Sizes from the midpoint of the range (our simplification): toy under 5 kg, small 5–10, medium 10–25, large 25–50, giant from 50. Growth timing: general guidance from Royal Canin.
