Dog Weight Calculator (Healthy Range Check)
This Dog Weight Calculator helps you check whether your dog’s current weight is likely underweight, ideal or overweight for its size. It’s a quick way to spot possible issues before you talk with your veterinarian.
Check your dog’s weight range
Enter your dog’s weight and basic size/breed info to see:
- Whether the current weight looks low, ideal or high
- An approximate “target range” for similar dogs
- A reminder to combine weight with body condition scoring

Example
28 kg adult Labrador Retriever
- Result: likely within the healthy range for many adult Labs.
- Next step: confirm with body condition score and vet exam.
- Monitor slow changes over months, not day-to-day fluctuations.
How to use your dog’s weight estimate
1. Look at shape, not just the scale
Two dogs with the same weight can have very different body condition. Check for a visible waist, palpable ribs and your vet’s body condition score along with the number.
2. Track trends over time
Weigh your dog regularly (for example monthly) on the same scale. Slow, consistent changes over weeks or months are more meaningful than a single weigh-in.
3. Use weight to guide feeding discussions
Bring weight data and photos to your vet when you talk about diet, calories and exercise. It helps design safer weight loss or maintenance plans.
Connect weight with breed & calories
After using the calculator, check breed-based charts and daily calories to complete the picture.
