How to Estimate a Puppy's Adult Weight
Knowing the estimated adult weight of your adorable fur ball can prove to be really helpful. There's no specific formula for calculating the exact adult weight of your pup, but you can always get a rough idea of how big your puppy will get when it grows up. Check out the puppy weight calculator in this Buzzle article for figuring out an estimated weight.
That was easy, wasn't it? You can always make a note of it or check back later again to very the weight when your puppy grows up to be an adult dog. Since these are just approximate calculations, won't it be better to look at other ways too?
Method II
- For toy-small breeds: Adult weight = weight at 6 weeks x 4
- For medium-large breeds: Adult weight = weight at 14 weeks x 2.5
- For large-giant breeds: Adult weight = weight at 16 weeks x 2
- Take the weight when your puppy is 6, 14, or 24 weeks for small, medium, and large (giant) breeds, respectively. If you have a small breed, double the weight of the puppy, and then double the resultant weight. For example, if your puppy weighs 4 lb., double it to get 8 lb., and then double the resultant 8 lb. to get 16 lb. This is what your puppy will weigh in adulthood.
- For medium puppies, weigh it at 14 weeks. Multiply the weight by 2. Then, the total by the half of the weight at 14 weeks. For example, if your pup weighs 20 pounds in 14 weeks, multiply it by 2 to get 40. Now, add the half of 20 i.e., 10 to 40. Your puppy will weigh around 50 lb. when fully grown.
- For larger or giant breeds, take the weight of the puppy when it is 6 months old. Double the weight is what your puppy's adult weight will be.
