1. What is a Puppy Adult Size Calculator?

Definition: This calculator estimates a puppy's adult weight based on its current weight and age in weeks.

Purpose: It helps pet owners and breeders predict how large their puppy will grow to be as an adult.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• Adult Size — Predicted adult weight (kg)
• Puppy Weight — Current weight of the puppy (kg)
• Age in Weeks — Current age of the puppy (weeks)

Explanation: The formula calculates the puppy's growth rate per week and projects it to 52 weeks (1 year), which is when most dogs reach their adult size.

3. Importance of Puppy Size Prediction

Details: Knowing your puppy's expected adult size helps with proper nutrition planning, crate and bed sizing, exercise requirements, and overall care planning.

4. Using the Calculator
