Maltese Ideal weight range
1.4–3.2 kg
Maltese dogs are significantly overrepresented for portosystemic shunts, a liver condition where blood bypasses normal hepatic filtration. Affected dogs often have poor appetite, slow growth, and variable weight, making routine tracking an effective way to notice the subtle patterns that prompt earlier veterinary assessment.
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.
