Puggle Growth
Did you just get the Puggle puppy? And do you want to know when your Puggle will stop growing and how big your Puggle will get? Or do you want to know if your Puggle is of the ideal weight for its age?
In this article, we will answer all relevant questions related to Puggle growth and weight.
If you do not own the Puggle yet, make sure you purchase your Puggle from an ethical Puggle breeder or work with a reputable rescue. Check out our Puggle buying guide and Puggle price guide here.
It is important for you as a caring Puggle owner to know if your Puggle is growing normally and if your Puggle is not overweight or underweight.
Extensive research studies have shown that most dogs are overweight because their owners spoil them with food, treats, and an easy life. Most dogs eat way too much and do not get enough exercise. Research has also shown that one of the reasons many dogs die young is because they are overweight. You can extend your dog`s life by making sure your dog is of healthy weight and growth.One final reason to keep track of your Puggle`s weight and growth is that your Puggle`s weight and growth pattern can tell you if your Puggle has some underlying health conditions (such as bone, heart, hormone diseases). This is what recent research has shown.
This article contains the Puggle growth calculator that you can use to predict your Puggle`s adult weight. This article also contains the Puggle growth chart and weight calculator that you can use to approximately tell if your Puggle`s weight is in the normal range based on its current weight.
However, the more accurate method to predict and track normal growth in your Puggle is by regularly weighing your Puggle and recording the weight of your Puggle with our free dog weight tracker and weight predictor. Our tool will tell you, first, a more accurate future weight of your Puggle and, second, if your Puggle is growing normally.
We designed our dog weight tracker and weight predictor based on a recent research study carried out by researchers from Banfield Pet Hospitals and the University of Liverpool. This study collected and analyzed the weight of over 6 million healthy dogs in the United States. The dogs studied included dogs in the Puggle weight category.

Puggle Growth Calculator
Use the calculator below to estimate how big your Puggle will get based on its current weight.
This Puggle growth calculator is based on the typical weight curve of a Puggle shown above. The calculator assumes that your Puggle is growing normally, and not on its way to become overweight or underweight.
How Much Should a Puggle Weigh?
Puggles typically weigh between 18 to 30 pounds.
Above is a graph that shows how much a Puggle should weigh at different ages. Check where the weight of your Puggle falls in the graph for its age.
The weights in the dark green region is typical for Puggles.
If the weight of your Puggle falls outside the dark green region for its age, then you should consult a vet.
Also, you can use the Puggle weight calculator below to find the typical weight and the normal weight range of Puggles, male or female, of any age between 12 weeks and 100 weeks.
If you want to see how the weight of your Puggle compares to that of other Puggle`s of its age, enter the weight of your Puggle in the calculator, and the calculator will show you where your Puggle stands on the weight chart.
The calculator will also tell you if your Puggle is within the normal weight range for the Puggle.
This Puggle weight calculator uses information from a research study on dog weight carried out by researchers at the University of Liverpool.
Please, talk to your vet before taking any decision on your pet`s weight and health.
What is the Height of the Puggle?
The adult Puggle is 13 to 15 inches tall at the shoulder. This is the average adult height of the Puggle.
Is Your Puggle Growing Normally? This is How to Tell
Puppy growth predictors, growth charts, and growth calculators like the ones above are approximate methods for predicting growth in dogs. However, these tools have limited capabilities. This is because each dog is unique and a dog`s growth may be different from that of the overall dog population.
A more accurate and scientific way to predict a dog`s growth is to measure the dog`s weight every week and record the weight. Doing this with your Puggle will give you a clearer picture of how your Puggle is growing.
You can use our free tool to track your Puggle`s growth and weight over time. Our tool will also let you know if your Puggle is growing normally.
Tracking your Puggle`s weight will let you see the unique growth trajectory of your Puggle. You can use this growth trajectory to accurately predict how big your Puggle will get. The growth trajectory will also let you know very early if your Puggle will become overweight or underweight.
Monitoring your dog`s weight is important because pet obesity is one of the leading causes of premature death in dogs. And these days, pets gain weight very easily because their owners spoil them with lots of treats and food. Catching early abnormal weight in your dog and correcting it (through diet changes, exercise) can significantly extend your dog`s life.
Below is what a normal growth pattern and what abnormal growth patterns look like in Puggles. You can compare your Puggle growth trajectory against these references to see if your Puggle is growing normally or you can use our automatic tool.
How to Measure the Weight of your Puggle
There are two methods you can use to measure your Puggle`s weight.
The first method, which is the better and more accurate method to weigh your Puggle, is to use a dog weighing scale.
Using a dog scale is important if you would like to monitor your Puggle`s growth regularly to catch any abnormal growth early.
Having a scale for weighing your Puggle will make it easy for you to weigh your Puggle regularly without any trouble.
The scale that we recommend for weighing the Puggle is this high durability and affordable Greater Goods Digital Pet Scale. Click here to check out this scale on Amazon.
The second method is to use a bathroom scale to weigh yourself while holding your Puggle. Then use the same scale to weigh yourself without your Puggle. Then calculate your weight when holding your dog minus your weight when not holding your Puggle. This method is illustrated in the picture below.
However, note that this method of holding your dog on a scale is not very accurate, and it may be difficult for you to use this method to weigh your Puggle if your Puggle is very heavy or if your Puggle is the type that would not stay still while being held.
How Fast Do Puggles Grow? Puggle Growth Rate
Starting from 3 months of age, Puggles grow at a rate of 0.72 pounds per week (0.33 Kilograms per week) on average. Starting at 4 months, your Puggle will gain 0.59 pounds (0.27 Kilograms) every week on average.
At 5 months of age, your Puggle will grow at a rate of 0.47 pounds per week (0.21 Kilograms per week) on average. Then at 6 months, your Puggle will gain 0.37 pounds (0.17 Kilograms) every week on average.

| 3 Months | 0.72 | 0.33 |
| 4 Months | 0.59 | 0.27 |
| 5 Months | 0.47 | 0.21 |
| 6 Months | 0.37 | 0.17 |
| 7 Months | 0.29 | 0.13 |
| 8 Months | 0.23 | 0.10 |
Puggle Growth Stages
Your Puggle will go through a number of developmental stages on its journey to adulthood. Your Puggle`s growth pattern can be categorized into 6 distinct stages: Neonatal, Transitional, Socialization Period, Juvenile Period, Adolescent Period, and Maturity.
You can know the developmental stage of your Puggle based on how old your Puggle is.
1. Puggle Neonatal Period
Puggle Neonatal Period is from Birth to 2 weeks. During this stage, the Puggle puppy will be totally dependent on its mother. The Puggle puppy`s eyes will still be unopened with no sense of vision. The Puggle puppy will only have the senses of taste and touch
2. Puggle Transitional Period
Puggle Transitional Period is from 2 weeks to 3 weeks. During this stage, the Puggle puppy will continue to develop a better sense of hearing and taste. The puppy`s teeth will start coming through and its eyes will begin to open.
During this stage, the Puggle puppy begins to crawl forward and backward, begins to stand, begins to wag its tail. This is also the age where your puppy’s personality begins to develop.
3. Puggle Socialization Period
Puggle Socialization Period is from 3 weeks to 14 weeks. During this stage, the Puggle puppy will be able to fully use all of its senses (vision, smell, touch, hearing, taste), and the puppy will learn to survive without its mother.
Also during this stage, the Puggle puppy learns how to act like a dog (biting, chasing, barking, etc). The rapid learning and socialization of the puppy occur at this stage, and what the Puggle puppy learns in this stage will have a long-term effect on the puppy`s behavior as an adult.
4. Puggle Juvenile Period
Puggle Juvenile Period is from 3-4 Months to 5-14 months. During this stage, the Puggle puppies will attempt to clarify and resolve their boundaries. Their baby teeth start getting replaced by adult teeth.
5. Puggle Adolescent Period
Puggle Adolescent Period is from 5-14 Months to 2-3 Years. Puggles go through social and sexual maturity during this stage.
6. Puggle Maturity Period
Puggle Maturity Period is from 1 year to 4 years. At this age, your Puggle will transition to full adulthood.

How to Tell If Your Puggle is Overweight
As mentioned earlier in this article, a very accurate way to know if your Puggle puppy is on its way to becoming overweight is by weighing your dog every week and recording its weight. This will show you the growth trajectory of your Puggle puppy. And a close look at your puppy`s growth trajectory will tell you if your Puggle puppy will be overweight or underweight. This method is relatively easy to use.
You can use our free online tool to track your Puggle puppy`s growth curve.
However, if you do not have a record of the weekly weights of your Puggle, and you want to tell if your dog is overweight, underweight, or of normal weight, then you can use a chart called the body condition chart shown below. This method requires some expertise to use, and it is further discussed below.
To tell your dog`s body condition, first, look at your dog closely and observe which of its bones and structures are sticking out or not sticking out from under its skin. Next, use your hands to feel for fat and bones over your dog. To know which bones to look and feel for, check out the body condition tool guide from the World Small Animal Veterinary Association and this guide. This exercise will tell you the body condition score for your dog.
Body condition scores are from a scale of 1 to 9. A score of 1, 2 or 3 means that a dog is too skinny. A score of 4 or 5 means that a dog is of ideal weight, and a score above 5 means that a dog is overweight.
Talk to your vet if your Puggle appears to be overweight. The vet might recommend reducing how much food to feed your Puggle.
Conclusion on Puggle Weight and Growth
In this article, we have provided you with the information, growth charts and growth calculators to help you tell how big your Puggle will get. These tools will also help tell if your Puggle is growing normally.
However, the best way to monitor and predict the growth of your Puggle is to measure and record your puppy Puggle`s weight every week.
Use our free Puggle weight tracker and calculator tool available here to track and predict your Puggle`s weight.
It is important that every Puggle owner monitors the growth of their Puggle for normal growth by checking the weight of their Puggle regularly. Regular weight monitoring will let you detect any abnormal growth very early before it is too late. We discussed how you can tell if your Puggle is growing normally from your Puggle`s weight history earlier in this article.
Abnormal growth in Puggle can be because of underlying disease (such are heart, hormonal, or bone problems) or because of overfeeding or underfeeding. All of the aforementioned reduce the Puggle lifespan and quality of life.
