How we calculate
Every figure a visitor sees on this site has a published source stored beside it in the code. This page explains the method behind each calculator in plain English, and says plainly which numbers are still working estimates rather than published figures.
- on the site, every one with a source
- 107 figureson the site, every one with a source
- from a published source
- 89 verifiedfrom a published source
- labelled as estimates on the page
- 11 estimateslabelled as estimates on the page
Principles
The rules we work to
- A number shown to a visitor comes from a published source, named on the page that uses it.
- Where we have had to round or extend something ourselves, it is labelled a working estimate wherever it appears.
- Where no source exists, the figure is left out rather than filled in. There are several places on this site where a competitor would print a number and we print an explanation instead.
- Where two sources disagree, we show both and span them rather than averaging the disagreement away.
- No medical advice, no medication doses, and no claim that a vet has reviewed this site. No named expert reviewer is claimed anywhere.
The big one
The growth model
This one sits behind the puppy weight calculator, the compact calculator on the home page and every breed chart, so it is worth setting out fully.
Where the data comes from
In 2017, Salt and colleagues published a set of growth standard charts for dogs in PLoS ONE, built on records from Banfield Pet Hospitals. The paper is open access, and so is the dataset behind it: a file of 14,957,947 weight records, released under a Creative Commons licence.
The paper publishes its charts as pictures rather than as tables of numbers, and we are not permitted to copy those pictures. So we went to the dataset and worked out our own figures from it.
What we did with it
- Kept only visits recorded as healthy, and dropped any visit where the dog was scored as thin or heavy.
- Sorted every dog into one of six adult-size bands, using the breed average adult weight the dataset carries. The bands are exactly the ones the paper defines.
- For each dog, took the average of its weights at 18 to 30 months old and called that its adult weight. That gave 339,119 dogs we could follow from puppyhood through to adulthood.
- For every week of age, divided each dog's weight that week by its own adult weight. That gives a share: how far along this dog was at that age.
- Took the middle of those shares for the estimate, and the 10th and 90th of them for the range. Lightly smoothed the result across neighbouring weeks and made sure it never falls as age rises.
Predicting an adult weight is then simple arithmetic: weight today divided by the share for that age and size.
Why the range is what it is
The range on the calculator is not a flat percentage. It is the actual spread of those shares, so it is wide at eight weeks and narrow at a year, because that is how real puppies behave. At 16 weeks the honest range is about a quarter either side of the middle estimate.
What we could not do
The published paper models five size categories and stops at 40 kg, about 88 lb. It does not cover giant breeds. We derived a giant-breed curve from the same open dataset, but that part sits outside what the paper itself modelled, and the Great Dane page says so.
We also read Hawthorne and colleagues (2004), which the paper cites for breed-level growth curves, but its full text is behind a paywall. No figure on this site comes from it.
Height
We do not estimate height from weight anywhere, because it cannot be done reliably. Adult height appears only on breed pages, taken from a kennel club breed standard.
The size bands
| Our name | Adult weight | In the paper | Most growing done by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toy | under 14 lb | Category I (under 6.5 kg) | 10 months |
| Small | 14 to 20 lb | Category II (6.5 to under 9 kg) | 10 months |
| Medium | 20 to 33 lb | Category III (9 to under 15 kg) | 10 months |
| Large | 33 to 66 lb | Category IV (15 to under 30 kg) | 11 months |
| Extra large | 66 to 88 lb | Category V (30 to under 40 kg) | 11 months |
| Giant | over 88 lb | Category VI (40 kg and over) | 13 months |
The six adult-size bands, as kilograms in the source paper and as pounds on this site.
Scroll the table sideways to see every column.
You can rebuild the whole model from scratch. The derivation script, the intermediate figures and the build script are in the data-build folder of the project, with a README explaining how to re-run them.
Breeds
Breed weights and heights
For a breed a kennel club recognizes, adult weight and height come from the breed standard, with the AKC first. Where the AKC gives no figure we go to an international standard and say which: the Cane Corso page uses the FCI standard for weight, because the AKC asks only for weight proportionate to height.
For a cross such as a Cavapoo or a Bernedoodle no standard exists, because no registry recognizes the dog. For those we build a typical range from the parent breeds' standards plus at least one veterinary publisher, label it a typical range rather than a standard, and explain on the page why these dogs vary more.
Two breeds are weaker than the rest and we would rather say so here than bury it. The Yorkie Poo has no published range we could find from a source we would cite, so its figures come from the three parent standards alone. The American Bully standard sets height and no weight at all, so its weight bands are our reading of a general published figure and are labelled working estimates on the page.
The breed charts
A breed chart takes the adult weight range from the standard and scales it back along the growth curve for that size class. The shape comes from the growth data; the height of the band comes from the breed standard. It is an estimate built from two sourced things, not a measurement of that breed, and the caption under every chart says so.
Teacup and micro
These are sales words, not recognized sizes. Where a breed is commonly sold under one, the page says so and gives the standard figures. The Chihuahua Club of America's statement on the subject is the clearest published source we found.
Dates
Pregnancy and heat cycles
Every figure comes from the Merck Veterinary Manual, from the three pages listed at the bottom of this page, and each was checked against the page on the date shown.
Merck gives dog gestation three different ways depending on what you count from, and we show all three rather than picking one. From a mating date the window is 58 to 72 days; from a vet-timed LH surge it is 64 to 66. The calculator uses whichever starting point you give it.
The week-by-week timeline only includes milestones Merck puts a day number on. Several things commonly listed in pregnancy timelines elsewhere are missing here for exactly that reason.
For heat cycles, Merck gives a gap of 4 to 13 months with 7 the average, and 9 days average for each of proestrus and estrus with a range of 3 days to 3 weeks. If you give the calculator two heat dates it measures your own dog's gap instead of using the average.
Tipping
Tipping
There is no official rate for tipping a groomer, so this is the one tool where we show the sources rather than assert a rule. NerdWallet and The Academy of Pet Careers both give 15 to 20 percent of the bill. The Emily Post Institute puts a holiday tip for a dog groomer at up to the cost of one session.
Both sources say a harder groom deserves more, and neither puts a number on it. The five extra percentage points our calculator adds for a hard visit is our own rounding of that advice, and the page says so every time it appears.
No source sets a different percentage for a mobile groomer, so the percentage does not change by venue.
Prices
Grooming prices
Prices come from three US sources for dogs and one for cats, all listed below. The dog sources disagree with each other by a fair margin, so the estimator spans them: the low figure is the lower of the two and the high figure the higher. Both sets are printed on the grooming page so you can see the gap for yourself.
Coat type does not change the price in any source we found, so it does not change the price here either. What it changes is how often a groom is needed, and that is sourced.
The one number not taken from a source is the mobile uplift. Every source says mobile costs more, and only Hepper prints a salon range and a mobile range side by side. We take the uplift from those two numbers, which makes it a working estimate, and it is labelled as one in the result panel.
We could not find a published national price for a de-shedding treatment. That add-on is still offered in the calculator, but it adds nothing to the total and the page explains why.
Limits
What these tools are not
They are not veterinary advice, and nothing here has been reviewed by a vet. We do not claim otherwise anywhere on the site.
They are averages applied to one animal. A population curve tells you where most dogs land, not where yours will. Treat every result as a planning figure.
If something here looks wrong to you, we would rather hear about it than not. Tell us and name the figure and the page.
