When Does A Puppy Stop Growing

One of the most rewarding things about puppies is watching them grow.
When does a puppy stop growing. Typically their body frame will continue growing until they reach the age of 18 months to 25 months. Walker says that small breed dogs typically start growing rapidly at 4 6 months and reach their full size between 10 12 months. Small breeds stop growing at around 6 to 8 months. Some puppies continue growing up until 24 months larger dog breeds take longer to reach full adult size than smaller breeds puppies require the right amount of food and exercise not too much or too.
But we know that it has a lean body. But just like most other mammals dogs eventually reach their mature size and stop growing. In medium sized dogs growth stops at around 18 months and they usually reach their final optimal weight at 2 years. These puppies stop growing about twice as slow as small pups.
Medium sized dogs stop growing at around 12 months and large breed dogs stop growing at 12 18 months.
