Goldendoodle puppy growing but not gaining weight. Should I worry?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Goldendoodle | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 29 days old | 48 lbs

My nearly 22 week goldendoodle has not gained weight in over 2 weeks though he is taller, energetic, peeing and pooping normally. He does not eat until afternoon to eat, though food available. Should we be worried?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! He is adorable! If he is acting fine, I don't think you need to worry at this point. Just keep an eye on his weight may be checking every few weeks as you will likely see it go up normally. Dogs sometimes have different feeding routines and may prefer to eat at certain times. Good luck and have a great day!
