Record puppy weights and read the growth chart

3 minute readFree planUpdated September 2026

Record weights for the whole litter on one screen, in ounces or pounds. Review each puppy's growth chart and edit a weigh-in when needed.

In this stage

Why it matters

  • Record the whole litter's weights on one screen, in ounces or pounds.
  • Each puppy's curve is drawn against an expected band, so a slow gainer stands out.
  • A puppy that stops gaining is flagged on the litter page and on the puppy's own page.

Record weights for the litter

  1. Open the litter and select Record weights.
  2. Check the Date, which defaults to today, and the Unit.
  3. Enter each puppy's weight, pressing Enter to move down the list.
    The Record weights dialog: the date and the unit over a row for each puppy, with its last weight under its name and a box for today's.
  4. Select Save weights.
  5. Select Log another for another day, or Done.

A weight far from the last one is flagged as unusual. Save anyway keeps it when it is right.

Your dashboard and your puppies list carry Log weight, which opens the same form.

Read the puppy growth charts

The litter's Weight Growth card draws one line per puppy, in ounces, by day of life.

The Weight Growth card on a litter page: a chip for each puppy over their weight curves in ounces, with the day-10 target marked.

Select a puppy's chip above the chart to bring that line forward. The dashed lines mark the day-10 target, 2× birth. When the chart trims to the days where most weigh-ins are, Show all brings the rest back.

Open a puppy and its Weight History chart shades a band around the line. The band is a gain of 3 to 10 percent a day from birth weight. It is a general guide for newborn puppies, not a figure for your breed. A line drifting below the band is the puppy to look at.

Correct a puppy weight entry

Open the puppy's page and find the Weigh-ins table. The menu on each row offers Edit and Delete. Entering the same date again adds a second weigh-in rather than replacing the first, so use Edit.

Find weights on puppy and litter pages

The puppy's own page keeps the Weight History chart and every weigh-in under it.

Your public litter page shows each puppy's latest weight while Show weights is on. See Share a public litter page.

Your dashboard raises No weights logged this week only once you have recorded weights before. The reminder stays off until you have started recording puppy weights.
