How would you know if your English Mastiff puppy is too small?
Raising puppies need responsible owners and enthusiasts to properly monitor their growth. Take theEnglish Mastiff for example; there may be puppies that weigh 55 pounds at 5 months whereas according to their growth chart, they should be hitting 80 pounds at that age. First thing is not to panic. Dogs experience growth spurts just like humans but not all at the same size. What is important is to check if they are healthy; not too fat nor too thin. If this still causes worry then ask the following questions:
- Are the parents small in size?
- Are they being fed properly with the right nutrients?
- Are the puppies being over exercised?
- Have they contracted any virus or worms?
Going to the veterinarian will be helpful in getting useful information that can help relieve worries. Of course, DNA testing to check if it really is in the bloodline is an extreme but possible step.
