The puppy has reached an estimated 35% of adult weight; the medium-size curve finishes at around 15 months (65 weeks).<\/p>\n<p>\n\r\n<\/section>\n<h2>How to use the calculator<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Enter your puppy\u2019s measured weight in <strong>Current weight<\/strong>. Use <strong>Weight unit<\/strong> to choose lb or kg; the results will use the same unit.<\/li>\n<li>Enter their <strong>Current age<\/strong> in whole weeks, from 8 through 52. Count from the puppy\u2019s birth date if you know it.<\/li>\n<li>Choose <strong>Expected adult size<\/strong> if you have a reasonable expectation based on breed or parent size. Otherwise, leave it at <strong>Unknown<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Read <strong>Estimated adult weight<\/strong> alongside <strong>Estimated adult weight range (\u00b110%)<\/strong>. Check <strong>Adult weight reached<\/strong>, <strong>Expected growth finish<\/strong>, and <strong>Projected growth by month<\/strong> for the growth-curve context.<\/li>\n<li>Read <strong>About this estimate<\/strong> for the curve used. If it warns that your chosen size differs from the estimated weight category, reconsider the selection and compare results.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>What the puppy weight estimate means<\/h2>\n<p>Puppies do not gain weight at the same rate throughout their first year, and smaller dogs generally reach their adult weight sooner than larger dogs. This calculator uses separate illustrative curves for toy, small, medium, large, and giant dogs. At 16 weeks, those curves assign 57%, 48%, 35%, 26%, and 19% of adult weight, respectively. Selecting a size can therefore change the answer substantially even when current weight and age stay the same.<\/p>\n<p>If you choose Unknown, the calculator begins with the medium-size curve, estimates adult weight, and reclassifies that estimate by weight. It repeats this process up to five times before reporting the result. The category is an assumption used to select a growth curve, not a diagnosis of your puppy\u2019s breed or final size. The \u201cAdult weight reached\u201d percentage describes progress along that selected curve, not a percentage measured directly from your puppy.<\/p>\n<p>The monthly table applies the same curve to the estimated adult weight. Its entries are projected weights at the displayed ages, not targets your puppy must hit. \u201cExpected growth finish\u201d is the age when the selected curve reaches its adult weight: around 10 months for toy dogs, 12 for small, 15 for medium, 18 for large, and 24 for giant dogs. Dogs can continue changing in body condition and shape after reaching a stable weight.<\/p>\n<h2>Assumptions and practical limits<\/h2>\n<p>The \u00b110% range is a planning guide calculated around the central estimate, not a statistical confidence interval or a guaranteed minimum and maximum. Breed mix, genetics, sex, nutrition, health, and individual growth patterns can all affect the eventual weight. A single measurement cannot show whether a puppy is following a steady growth trend; weighing under similar conditions over time gives more useful context.<\/p>\n<p>The calculator accepts positive weights up to 500 lb (about 227 kg) and ages from 8 to 52 whole weeks. Its projections can extend beyond 52 weeks for larger size categories. If the projected adult weight exceeds 500 lb, it cannot return an estimate. Check the entered unit, age, and size category if a result seems implausible.<\/p>\n<p>Projected adult weight is not the same as a healthy or ideal weight. For body-condition questions, use the <a href=\"https:\/\/wpcalc.com\/en\/life\/pet-ideal-weight-calculator\/\">pet ideal weight calculator<\/a> as a separate guide and ask your veterinarian about your puppy\u2019s growth.
