How much does/did your chow weigh at 1 years old?

Post by Ziggy8 »

Hey everyone

I have a chow who is 11 months almost turning 1. He weighs 32kg and has done for the past 6 weeks or so and hasn't seemed to go up from that.
Recently he has been getting a stiff left leg after he's been lying on it a while which makes him limp slightly or hop for a little bit after he's been sleeping.

I took him to the vets where the vet told me he is very overweight and needs to get down to 20kg before they will look at his leg issue as she is convinced its down to that. Does that sound right to you? - Everywhere I have read says the average chow weight is around 25-32kg, I'm happy to have him lose a few kilos if it will help him as all I want is a happy healthy chow, but telling me to get him down to 20kg seems insane.

Anyone been through similar?
