I have an 11 week old female pug. It's been with me for 4 weeks, and I believe It's getting fat. 4 weeks ago it weighed 1.3 kg, now it weighs 2.7 kg. There is no noticable growth in the puppy's height, however its getting fatter by the day. I feed it 4 meals of puppy dry food daily. Each meal...

Hello, I posted a while back that I had adopted a Plotthound who was being extremely picky with her food. After MUCH trial and error, she was consistently eating her meals and subsequently gaining weight, you could no longer see her ribs and she actually looked healthy, her coat was shiny and...

Hello fellow dog lovers, I have a small dilemma with the sizing of a puppy. A few months ago our beloved Labradoodle passed away leaving his brother, a German Shepherd Corgi. My family and I have been looking for a puppy that will meet our standards. My father and I are more partial to a...

Hello! I'm new here so forgive me if I broke any rules... I recently adopted a purebred Dalmatian on Monday, she was born on Aug 11th but recently weighed in at a whopping 10 pounds at the vet. Is this normal for a Dalmatian? Her parents look about average size. I'm just curious about how big...

I am part of this Facebook group dedicated to fit dogs but for some reason it has become a bunch of people dedicated to "bulked up" dogs. I am not against that if that is what you want but if I have heard "pet weight" used in a negative context once I have heard it a thousand times. I wanted...

Hi! I have no idea what breed my baby Mylo is. He is a mixed breed, could be more than just two breeds. He is 5.5 months old, weighs 19 lbs, and is about 17 inches tall. What kind of breed do y'all think he might be? / How big do y'all think he will get? I was told by the people I bought him...

Hi, I just have a curiosity. I met a guy earlier at the dog park with a 6 months old bull terrier puppy. She's a girl and weighs 13 kg now (28 pounds). I asked the owner how big he thinks she'll get and he told me she should weigh around 28 kg (61 pounds) as an adult. To be honest that sounded...

How much did your dog weigh when he/she was 8 weeks old? What breed? How much does he/she weigh now as an adult?

Hi everyone! I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Milly and she is 2 years old. I went to the vet the other day because I was concerned about her weight and they said that she was right on the verge of being overweight. Her waist line is a bit difficult to see. The average weight for a...

Hi everyone! I'm new here, so please let me know if similar questions are posted elsewhere or if I'm posting in the right section :) I am a first time dog mama to a beautiful cocker spaniel puppy named Henry that I adopted from a rescue group. When I first got him in February he was 4 months...

I rescued this 'free' puppy about 3 weeks ago and since then she's cost me a couple bucks, even though the former owner reassured she's in good health. Anyway, the previous owner told me she's half German Shepherd and rednose pit but I'm not sure. I was wondering if anyone else has this mix dog...

My 5 month old puppy has recently been showing not a lot of intersest in his food. We get him Merrick Puppy Chow, and he seemed to love it, but lately he's been eating about 1/3 of the recommended 2 cups for his weight. He is always exited for people food, though. So last night we gave him 1/3...

This is a little bit of a rant. Recently I posted a thread asking about whether my dog was too skinny, I was assured that he wasn't and I was being told that by people who were used to seeing fat dogs. Since then I've been really looking at dogs weight and am appalled at how many are...

Can anyone tell me what the approximate weight of a 13 week old German Short Haired Pointer should be? We are looking at one today and I would like to know if it is of average size. :confused: Thank you!!
