Puppy & Kitten Weight Chart

In the first four weeks of life, weight is the single most reliable indicator of a newborn's health. Puppies and kittens should gain 5-10% of their body weight every day — a plateau of even 12 hours is a genuine emergency. This tracker logs every weigh-in (grams, not ounces — accuracy matters at this stage), plots gain since the previous session, and flags any stagnation. Reference ranges are conservative averages; small toy breeds and giant breeds will fall well outside typical numbers, so trend matters more than absolute weight.

Expected puppy range (breed-dependent):
  • Day 1: 200600 g
  • Day 7: 4001000 g
  • Day 14: 7001600 g
  • Day 21: 10002500 g
  • Day 28: 14003500 g
