Enter each puppy’s birth weight and today’s weight to check they’re gaining normally, with a clear status for every puppy in the litter.
Disclaimer: A quick check, not a diagnosis. Call your vet about any puppy that is losing weight, not nursing, crying constantly or seems weak.
Healthy newborn puppies gain about 5–10% of their body weight every day and double their birth weight in about one week (VCA Animal Hospitals).
The calculator works out the expected range for each puppy’s age (up to 2 weeks), compares it with today’s weight, and shows the average daily gain. After 2 weeks it checks that each puppy has at least doubled its birth weight.
Every day for the first 2 weeks, then every few days. VCA recommends weighing routinely, daily to weekly.
Check that it's nursing well and staying warm. If it's losing weight or not gaining, call your vet the same day. Newborn puppies can go downhill quickly.
Yes, on this device only, so you can come back tomorrow and update today's weights.
