My 5-month Maltese weighs 4kg. How big will he get as an adult?

Unfortunately that's hard to know exactly because he is a mixed breed. Mixed dogs can some grow larger than either parent. In general, small breed puppies reach adult height around 6-8 months of age so I suspect (as a guess) he may only grown another inch or two. He will gain weight and fill out until about 8-10 months of age. I suspect he may end up around 9-10lbs. This will depend though on which parent he takes after. Maltese tend to be light boned and thin where as Shih Tzu's tend to be heavier boned and have a stockier build. Again, know this is all a guess. Sometimes puppies can be late bloomers. Your veterinarian can get a better idea based upon Comet's bone structure. I hope this helps.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Sam. He is likely full grown or very nearly at his age. He may fill out a bit more, but I suspect his weight or measurements will not change much. He can transition to adult food or do so within the next month. I hope this information helps!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The final weight of a dog depends on breed. Large breed and giant breed dogs can grow until 2 years of age. At 4 months and weighing only 6 lbs, I would guess (without seeing a picture of your dog0 that he won't be over 15 pounds. I wish you the best!

Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would recommend feeding her twice a day. A 23 pound maltese is definitely overweight! Typically, they should be around 5-10 pounds. Going off of his ideal weight (around 5-10 lbs), Snowball should only be eating around 200 calories a day. All food products have the calories per cup listed on the packaging so you can adjust her cups/day accordingly. It should be somewhere around 1/4 cup twice a day. I hope this helps!

Hi, it's hard to appreciate Winters size from your photos but he's a handsome dog and definitely looks like a husky. Remember, he's still growing and will continue to grow until he's around 10-12mths old. His adult size will resemble his parents, so if you know what size they are, Winter will be like them. You don't need to fatten him up, it's healthier to stay leaner.

At this weight your puppy will have an approximate adult weight of about 54lbs. This would be relatively small. The average weight of adult German Shepherds by gender are: Males: 66 – 88 pounds (30 – 40 kg) Females: 48 – 70 pounds (22 – 32 kg). Your GSD may be a smaller type, or it may not be growing like it should. I suggest you take Mike to a vet for a wellness exam assessing his growth rate. Make sure you feed good quality puppy food for large dogs and his age bracket to ensure optimum growth.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I do the trick of doubling the weight at 4 months but, like all guesstimates- it’s not perfect. Zeus will probably be about 8 lbs- give or take a pound- when all is said and done. Best wishes to you and you little guy!
