Growth calculator: how big will the young animal grow
How it works
We know how animals grow: for every species and many breeds we know the average weight and size of a young animal at different ages, from birth to adulthood. Give the age, sex and at least one measurement of the youngster (weight, length, height at the withers or length with the tail) and we will show how big it will most likely grow. This is a range, not an exact number: growth depends on nutrition, health and heredity. The more measurements, the narrower the range.
For now we calculate only for mammals with the necessary data: at present cats and dogs, including many breeds.
An extended version is coming soon. It will take measurements at several ages at once, pull the weight and height from the pet diary and refine the forecast by the sizes of the parents and grandparents.
Up to what age does the growth calculator work?
The size of an adult falls into a range that depends on sex and line. Enter the age and a measurement of the puppy and we show the mass, length and height you can expect.
How can I tell that the weight of my puppy is normal?
Compare it with the range for that age: the calculator shows the share of the adult size. If the weight is far outside the range, show the animal to a vet.
How much more will my puppy grow?
Animals grow fastest in the first months, then growth slows down. The exact age depends on sex, nutrition and health, so we show a range.
How do I choose food and space for a puppy knowing its future size?
Go by the expected mass and size of the adult, not the current ones: choose food by age and check with a vet. The calculator helps estimate the size but does not replace the advice of a specialist.
