1. What is the Puppy Weight Calculator?

The Puppy Weight Calculator estimates the adult weight of mixed breed puppies based on their current weight and age. This simple formula helps predict how big your puppy will grow.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following equation:

\[ \text{Adult Weight} = \left( \frac{\text{Puppy Weight}}{\text{Age in Weeks}} \right) \times 52 \]

Where:

Puppy Weight — Current weight in kilograms
Age in Weeks — Puppy's age in weeks (1-52)
52 — Number of weeks in a year

Explanation: The formula assumes linear growth rate and projects the puppy's weight at 52 weeks (1 year) based on current growth.

3. Importance of Weight Estimation

Details: Knowing your puppy's potential adult size helps with proper nutrition planning, crate size selection, and anticipating space requirements.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: For best results, weigh your puppy at 12-16 weeks old. The calculation becomes less accurate as the puppy approaches adulthood.
