So how much weight should a puppy gain per week?

There is no standard weight gain for puppies each week because dogs vary so much in size. Small breed puppies will gain a few ounces each week until they’re fully grown, while large breed puppies will gain a few pounds a week.

Healthy Puppy Weight Gain per Week

Generally, puppies of all sizes should be gaining around 1 to 2 grams of weight per day per kilogram of expected adult weight per day.

That roughly translates to around 0.25 to 0.5 ounces per pound of expected weight per week.

So, for small breed puppies whose adult weight will be 10 pounds, that means that your puppy should be gaining 2.5 to 5 ounces of weight per week.
