Shar Pei Ideal weight range
18–29 kg
Shar Peis have a well-documented hereditary condition called familial Shar Pei fever, which causes recurrent episodes of fever and joint swelling and leads to amyloid deposits in the kidneys over time. Because kidney function can decline gradually and weight loss is often one of the earliest signs, consistent tracking gives owners and vets a reliable baseline to work from as the condition is managed. Long-term colchicine therapy is often prescribed to slow progression. FitFido tracks both medication and weight in one place so the full picture is always available.
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.
