Scottish Terrier Ideal Weight Range
8.6–10 kg
Scottish Terriers are predisposed to Scotty cramp, a hereditary movement disorder triggered by excitement or exercise that causes episodic muscle stiffness and abnormal gait. Affected dogs may self-limit their activity to avoid triggering episodes, and reduced movement over time can lead to gradual weight gain if food intake is not adjusted accordingly. Where medication is prescribed to manage episodes, FitFido keeps it alongside weight records in one place.
Your dog is more than a breed average.
A generic range is just a starting point. FitFido uses your dog's unique breed characteristics, age, body type, and activity level to calculate their target weight and construct a custom plan that adjusts as you progress.
Please note that a dog's ideal weight depends on many individual factors, including height, bone structure, and overall body condition.
