Puppies should gain 1- 2 grams /day/pound of anticipated adult weight. Weigh the puppy daily for the first 2 weeks, then weigh at least weekly. A food scale typically works well for weighing the puppies. Failure to gain weight is often the first sign of illness in puppies.

To ensure both mother and puppies receive adequate nutrition throughout the nursing stage, the mother should be fed several servings of a quality puppy food throughout the day. Your veterinarian can recommend the type and amount of food to feed your nursing mother. It's important to keep an eye on the puppies' weight during this time.

You should start weighing your puppies from the first day they are born. Generally, you should expect puppies to gain about 10 percent of their birth weight every day, explains Critical Care Vet. Then, after 10-12 days of age, the puppies' birth weight should double. [otw_is sidebar="otw-sidebar-1"]

Weigh the puppies once a day. After the puppies are born, you should weigh them at regular intervals. Once a day is often enough to get a good idea of how they are progressing. Make sure to weigh them at the same time every day. You should weigh the puppies once a day for the first two weeks. After that, weigh them once a week.

When we have a litter of newborn puppies we weigh each puppy every day for the first 8 weeks (as you can see in the above puppy weight chart). So, just look at the above chart and you can see how much each puppy gained each day.

Weigh the puppy on digital scales and make a note of the weight in grams. Create a chart on which to record the bodyweight of each newborn puppy every 24 hours. Normal birth weights for the smaller breeds can range from 75g to 350g, medium breeds 200g to 300g and the larger breeds from 400g up to 800g
