Have you just adopted a stray puppy? Maybe you have a dog of a mixed breed? Are you still wondering How big my puppy will get? Search no more — our puppy height and weight calculator is here to help.
Follow the article below for the details of the canine development and growth, dog growth calculator basics, breed descriptions, and formulas used in our puppy size estimator. 🐕
How much will my dog weight?
Our how big will my puppy get calculator uses the following equation:
Adult weight = (Puppy weight / Puppy age in weeks) × 52
Why 52?
52 is the number of weeks in a year. That's how we program the dog size predictor to give us your puppy's weight when he is exactly 1 year old.
We used this value in our puppy calculator because, on average, dogs mature into adults within 12 months. This value ranges from 8 months for smaller breeds to around 16 months for larger breeds.
Your dog's weight category
According to your puppy weight calculator's results, we can place your dog into one of 5 major breed size groups:
Toy dog | < 12 lb / < 5.4 kg |
|---|---|
Small dog | 12-22 lb / 5.4-10 kg |
Medium dog | 22-57 lb / 10-25.9 kg |
Large dog | 57-99 lb / 25.9-44.9 kg |
Giant dog | >99 lb / >44.9 kg |
💡 Small dogs tend to live longer. For every increase of 4.4 pounds (2 kg) of body weight, a dog's lifespan decreases by 1 month. This way, the dog weight predictor serves as a tool for estimating your dog's longevity.
