What Is the Puppy Weight Calculator?

Track your puppy's weekly weight and compare it against the expected growth curve for their breed size.

Is your puppy growing at the right rate? Enter their current weight and age to instantly see where they sit on the growth curve — and whether they are on track for a healthy adult size.

Every result is based on published veterinary research and breed-size-specific growth data — not generic averages. This tool is completely free, works instantly in your browser, and requires no account or sign-up.

How It Works

This calculator uses the ratio of current age to breed-size maturity age to estimate the percentage of adult weight already reached. For a medium breed maturing at 56 weeks, a puppy at 14 weeks (25%) who weighs 4kg is predicted to reach approximately 16kg as an adult. A realistic range of plus or minus 13% reflects normal genetic variation.

Maturity ages differ significantly: toy breeds reach adult weight at around 40 weeks, while giant breeds continue growing until 96 weeks (nearly 2 years). Using the correct size category is essential for an accurate prediction.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I weigh my puppy?+
Weekly for the first 12 weeks, then fortnightly until 6 months, then monthly until fully grown. Consistent timing — same scales, same time of day — gives the most reliable trend data.
My puppy is lighter than expected — should I worry?+
A 10-15% variation below the predicted curve is within normal range. Consistently tracking below 20% for two consecutive monthly weigh-ins warrants a vet conversation to rule out parasites or nutritional issues.
My puppy is heavier than expected — is that a problem?+
For large and giant breeds, tracking significantly above the curve raises the risk of developmental orthopaedic disease from too-rapid bone growth. Slightly above is fine — more than 20% over warrants a feeding review.
When does a puppy stop being a puppy weight-wise?+
Toy breeds: 9-10 months. Small: 10-12 months. Medium: 12-15 months. Large: 15-18 months. Giant: up to 24 months. Height stops growing before weight — dogs can continue filling out for months after.
Can I use this for a rescue puppy whose age I do not know?+
Estimate age from teeth development (your vet can help) then use that estimate. Alternatively, use our Puppy Paw Size Calculator which gives a size estimate without needing age.
