Portuguese Water Dog Ideal Weight Range
35–55 lbs
Portuguese Water Dogs have a well-documented breed predisposition to hypoadrenocorticism (Addison's disease), a condition where the adrenal glands produce insufficient cortisol. One of its most common early signs is unexplained weight loss or fluctuation, making consistent weight tracking a practical tool for catching changes before a diagnosis is made.
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.
