1. What is a Puppy Size Calculator By Weight?

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:

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

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula assumes linear growth rate by calculating the weekly weight gain and projecting it to 52 weeks (1 year).
