My 2-month-old puppy looks fat. Is this normal or too much food?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 2 months old | 12 lbs

I was wondering is there a certain weight for a 2 month old puppy? Because my puppy looks a little bit fat so I don’t know if that’s normal or if I’m giving her too much food.

Well there can be certain breed standards of weight, but even as a puppy, it's hard to say what's a standardized weight. If you are concerned that Bella may be fat, it's best to have her seen by a vet to discuss this. It may be she is fine and not overweight. I hope this helps.
