Dog and Cat Weight Range Comparisons

Choose your pet’s species and known breed or type to compare the current weight with a typical reported adult range. These tools are for adult pets and do not apply to growing puppies or kittens.

A breed range is not an ideal weight, Body Condition Score, or diagnosis. Frame size, muscle, age, sex, health, and individual conformation can all affect an appropriate weight.

Use a breed range only when the breed is known. For dogs of mixed or unknown ancestry, choose Mixed-breed Dog. For cats without a known breed, choose Domestic Cat. Do not select a look-alike breed based only on size, frame, coat, or body shape.
Check body condition before changing food. Weight ranges cannot show body fat or muscle condition. Use the hands-on BCS guide, then ask your veterinary team to confirm BCS and muscle condition before making substantial feeding or calorie changes.
