Free Puppy Weight Tracking Chart

Puppy Weight Tracking

This week’s 🧰 Toolbox Tuesday resource: a Puppy Weight Tracking Chart designed to help you spot problems early and keep your litter thriving. Print it, post it on your whelping room wall, and put it to work! I’ve attached a photo of the chart, but I will have a PDF you can download & print also.

Healthy puppies should gain weight daily. It’s really that simple, but also that serious…literally the difference between life and death!

📊 Why tracking matters:

A puppy that fails to gain in 24 hours may be dehydrated, chilled, or losing the b**b competition.

A steady decline can be your earliest sign of fading puppy syndrome, long before symptoms show. Weight gain (or loss) is the earliest measurable red flag for fading puppy syndrome, hypoglycemia, or insufficient milk

Even “runt” pups should show consistent upward progress, even if smaller than their littermates.

Puppies can appear “fine” while silently declining. A gram scale sees what your eyes can’t and alarms you faster of a decline allowing to you react quickly.

✅ How to do it right:
Use a digital gram scale (ounces aren’t accurate enough).

Record gains in grams, not percentages. Patterns matter more than numbers.

Weigh at the same time daily (I recommend morning, before feeding).

You should be gauging how frequently to weigh based on the age of the puppies. As a guideline here is what I do:

Birth-2wks-weigh daily
2wks-4wks-daily or every other day
4wks-6wks-every 2-3 days
6wks-8wks- weekly

Pups should be gaining 5-10% of the previous days body weight.

Record gains per pup individually. Collar + chart =
lifesaver.

⚠️ Risks breeders overlook

Weighing irregularly hides patterns, you might miss a slow decline that could lead to further problems that could be prevented by weighing regularly.

Assuming “the runt just grows slow” is dangerous. A flat weight curve is not normal, even for small pups you should be seeing gains.

👉Gold Nugget Tip: 2 weigh-ins without gain = intervention time. Don’t “wait and see.” Step in with tube feeding, check dam’s milk, and monitor hydration before the pup crashes. If you need to tube feed keeping regular weights will become more important, weights determine the amount the puppy needs to be fed adequately. Guessing can be catastrophic!

📌 Pro Tip: Keep a color-coded collar + matching chart for each pup so you never mix up

Follow up from last week’s topic: The thermometer comes in handy here as well, you never ever want to feed a chilled pup.

Do you track weights daily? What’s your method?

Thanks to the modern advancements of today, you no longer have to breed based on the old school techniques of yesterday. Some of us breeders that have been around for a while weren’t privileged to have the modern tech when we were learning and we relied heavily on our previous experience, counting days, and signs from the female dog. The breeding of yesterday made things challenging for breeders trying to breed with specific bloodlines or traits and forced people to travel long distances to achieve such breedings. Progesterone testing along with other modern tech have made those challenging breedings easier and more achievable. You can test your own dogs without ever leaving the house…. Yeah you heard that right! If you’d like to learn more about how you can improve the probability of success on your breedings, let’s talk! We carry many products that are suitable for your breeding and whelping needs @

Scarlet Sons K9 Repro and Whelping Supplies provides breeders with the supplies required to have smooth and efficient breeding's.

The Significance of Progesterone Testing for Successful Dog Breedings:

I would like to address some common queries within the dog breeding community, where both novice and experienced breeders often deliberate over the necessity of progesterone testing. Additionally, there is a prevailing question regarding the utility of conducting further tests once a dog reaches a progesterone level indicative of ovulation. It is important to recognize that relying solely on textbook expectations for progesterone trends may not always yield optimal breeding outcomes.

In the realm of dog breeding, substantial financial investments are made, encompassing the procurement of dogs, stud fees, and related expenses. It is therefore prudent to question why one would expend such resources only to approach breeding timing with uncertainty or reliance on chance.

The accompanying image of test slips, although not originally mine, serves to illustrate a pertinent point. Notably, the initial progesterone test reading of 8.52ng suggests that the dog should have been ready for breeding within 1-3 days. However, through diligent testing and patience, the owner ensured the dog reached the desired optimal range, which ultimately occurred 9 days later. This example underscores the potential oversight that many breeders might encounter by adhering strictly to a narrow window of opportunity for breeding without further testing.

Furthermore, to streamline the process of progesterone testing and enhance breeding efficiency, consider the Wondfo Finecare Progesterone bundle, available through Scarlet Sons K9 Repro. This comprehensive bundle equips breeders with the tools necessary to conduct in-house progesterone testing, empowering them to make informed decisions with precision and confidence.

Investing in the Wondfo Finecare Progesterone bundle offers several advantages. Firstly, it provides breeders with immediate access to progesterone testing capabilities, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming visits to external laboratories. By conducting tests in-house, breeders can closely monitor progesterone levels at critical junctures, thereby maximizing the likelihood of breeding success.

Moreover, the bundle facilitates timely interventions, allowing breeders to adjust breeding schedules based on real-time progesterone readings. This proactive approach minimizes the risk of missed breeding opportunities and reduces the overall stress associated with coordinating mating cycles.

In summary, the Wondfo Finecare Progesterone bundle empowers breeders with the ability to perform accurate progesterone testing in-house, saving both time and money while optimizing breeding outcomes. With Scarlet Sons K9 Repro, take control of your breeding program and achieve greater efficiency and success in your endeavors.
