Puppy
Hello, I’ve been looking everywhere as to where I can possibly ask for advice and/or opinions about my 9-week old apbt puppy.
Last week, I brought my pup to the vet for his 3rd vaccine shot and found out he weighs 8.8lbs (he was 8 wks back then). He was eating well, gets his daily vitamins, drinks plenty of water. No complaints about food in general but when I did some research (cuz i forgot to ask my vet) I found out dogs at this age should be around 18-20 lbs??? Is this accurate? Would that mean he’s underweight? If so, what can I possibly do to keep up with the standard weight for apbt?
PS: I’m a fur parent of 3 shih tzu mixed puppies and just got an apbt so I’m a newbie to handling large breeds of dogs.
*Attached some of his recent photos for your reference.
