Schipperke Ideal Weight Range
8–20 lbs
Schipperkes have a breed predisposition to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a progressive lung condition that causes exercise intolerance and laboured breathing. Because affected dogs become increasingly unable to sustain normal activity levels, their calorie needs can drop significantly over time. Where medication is prescribed to manage symptoms, FitFido keeps dosing and weight records together so any changes are easy to spot.
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.
