Why is my pitbull puppy so small?
The size of your pitbull puppy is likely due to genetics. Pitbulls are a small to medium-sized breed, so puppies may be even smaller than adults. Additionally, the diet and nutrition of your puppy may play a role in their size. A poor diet can lead to stunted growth and a smaller size, while a healthy diet can help them grow to their full potential. Finally, it is possible that your puppy has been interbred with other breeds, which can also lead to a smaller size.
Is my pitbull puppy overweight?
To determine if your pitbull puppy is overweight, you should be able to feel the ribs along the sides of the chest, and see a visible tuck-up from chest to stomach. Also, the chest should be wider than the abdomen. If you can’t feel the ribs or see the tuck-up, your puppy is likely overweight. It is also important to consider the breed of your puppy and their age, as some pitbulls are genetically predisposed to be larger than others.
