How do you tell if your puppy is a healthy weight?
Looking at your dog from above, if you notice that the pup looks rather rotund and oval-shaped, it's likely that your dog is fat. If, on the other hand, you notice that your dog has a defined waist toward the rear and a straight build down the sides, then they're probably at a healthy weight.
How can I tell if my puppy is underweight?
Your puppy may be underweight if you can clearly see their ribs, vertebra, and pelvic bones, and are unable to feel any fat on their bones. Because some dogs have very thick fur coats that can hide the ribs, it's important that you get hands-on!
How much should a 3 month old puppy weigh?
For the average-sized dog, the weight range will be between six to twelve pounds. As a general rule of thumb, your puppy's weight at three months should be around twelve pounds. It is important to remember that this weight will increase as your dog grows.
