Dog Breed Size Predictor
Predict a puppy's adult weight from current weight and age.
About Dog Breed Size Predictor
Puppy growth decelerates, so a sixteen-week puppy has already reached a large share of adult weight for a small breed but much less for a giant one. Predictions before about eight weeks are unreliable. Predicted adult weight determines food quantity, joint supplement decisions and whether a large breed diet is appropriate, all of which matter during growth.
Formula
Dog Breed Size Predictor
Adult weight = current weight ÷ growth fraction, where growth follows a decelerating curve
- growth fraction
- Share of adult weight reached, rising steeply then flattening
- maturity
- Larger breeds keep growing far longer, up to 20 months for giants
Worked example
With the default values below, Dog Breed Size Predictor returns Predicted Adult Weight of 16.64. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Assumptions and limits
- The result is derived only from the 3 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
- In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
- Figures are rounded for display to 3 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
