How It Works
When breed is known, size category comes directly from breed classification — the most accurate method. For unknown or mixed breeds, the calculator uses the weight-at-age formula to project adult weight, then refines the result using paw size as a secondary signal.
Paw size relative to body size is a widely used real-world indicator. Large paws at a young age generally mean a larger adult dog. The paw multiplier adjusts the weight projection by up to 30% for very large paws — reflecting the real correlation between paw size and final adult size in growing puppies.
Veterinary Research
Every formula is derived from peer-reviewed veterinary studies and clinical guidelines, not guesswork or generic rules.
