Aww Eva is so cute! She looks to be at a healthy weight for her size. As with people, not all puppies grow at the same rate and it’s not always linear - they have growth “spurts” just like people. Also, not all Goldens are built the same- some are petite and slim, some are beefier. Most important is that she is a healthy weight for her frame. Your vet can always help with this but we also have a healthy weight tool. This will be most accurate for adult dogs but it can help if you’re worried. https://www.petcoach.co/healthy-weight-calculator/ Hope this helps and best of luck to you and Eva!
