Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I weigh my puppy or kitten?
For puppies and kittens under 6 months, weekly weigh-ins are recommended. After 6 months, bi-weekly or monthly weighings are sufficient. Consistency is key - try to weigh at the same time of day, preferably before feeding.
Why is tracking my pet's growth important?
Tracking growth helps identify potential health issues early. Slow growth may indicate nutritional deficiencies, parasites, or illness. Rapid growth in large breeds can cause skeletal problems. Regular monitoring ensures your pet is developing at a healthy rate.
How do I measure my pet's weight accurately?
For small pets, use a kitchen or postal scale. For larger pets, stand on a bathroom scale holding your pet, then subtract your weight. For best accuracy, weigh at the same time daily (morning before feeding works well).
What's a healthy growth rate for puppies?
Healthy puppies typically gain 10-15% of their body weight daily during the first week, then 5-10% weekly afterward. Small breeds reach adult weight by 10-12 months, medium breeds by 12-15 months, and giant breeds by 18-24 months.
What's a healthy growth rate for kittens?
Kittens usually gain about 0.5-1 ounce (15-30 grams) per day until 4 months old. They typically reach adult size by 12 months, though large breeds like Maine Coons continue growing until 3-4 years.
My pet seems smaller than expected. Should I be worried?
Some variation is normal - the 'expected' weights are averages. However, if your pet is consistently 20% or more below expected weight, consult your veterinarian to rule out health issues. Diet quality, genetics, and individual variation all play roles.
Can I track multiple pets?
Yes! The Pet Growth Tracker supports multiple pets. Each pet's data is saved separately, and you can easily switch between them. All data is stored locally on your device.
Will my data be saved if I close the browser?
Yes, all data is saved to your browser's local storage. Your pet profiles and weight entries will persist across sessions. However, clearing your browser data will delete this information.
Can I export my pet's growth data?
Yes! You can export your data as a CSV file, which can be opened in Excel, Google Sheets, or shared with your veterinarian. You can also print a growth chart report.
What size category should I choose for mixed breeds?
Estimate based on the expected adult weight. If unknown, consider the parents' sizes or ask your vet. You can always update the size category later if your estimate changes.
How accurate are the growth milestones?
The milestones are based on breed averages and serve as general guidelines. Individual pets may vary by 10-20% and still be perfectly healthy. Use them as a reference, not a strict standard.
Should large breed puppies grow slower than small breeds?
Yes, slower growth in large and giant breeds is actually healthier. Rapid growth can cause bone and joint problems like hip dysplasia. Many vets recommend specially formulated large-breed puppy food to control growth rate.
