Chow Chow Ideal Weight Range
44–71 lbs
Chow Chows are predisposed to myotonia congenita, a hereditary muscle condition causing stiffness and impaired movement, as well as elbow dysplasia. Both conditions progressively reduce a dog's ability to exercise comfortably, and a breed that moves less needs fewer calories. Tracking food intake alongside weight helps prevent the gradual condition changes that often follow reduced activity.
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.
