3 months ≈ 13 weeks · 6 months ≈ 26 weeks

Bigger dogs grow for longer

Toy breeds are close to adult weight by about nine months; giant breeds keep growing until 18–24 months. So a 12-week-old puppy may already be 40% of its adult weight if it is small, but only 20–30% if it is a large breed. The calculator uses a growth curve for each size class and divides today’s weight by the expected share.

How accurate is it?

Treat the result as a range (±15%). Mixed breeds, sex and neutering age all shift the final size. The estimate gets better the older the puppy — re-check at four and six months.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell how big my puppy will get?

The best guides are the parents’ sizes, the breed’s typical adult range and the puppy’s growth so far. A puppy’s weight at 4–6 months, compared with the typical growth curve for its size, gives a reasonable estimate.

When do puppies stop growing?

Small breeds around 9–10 months, medium breeds around 12 months, large breeds around 15 months and giant breeds at 18–24 months.
