Question
i want to know if there is any way i would know how big my boxer will grow to. he is 5 month weight about 36 pounds and is 19 inches to the shoulder. he seem to skinny and to small just want to know if he will grow and fill in
I couldn't tell you because it is genetic from his parents. Are they normal size, small, large?
He is normal for his age.
If he has ribs or hips showing he needs a higher protein puppy food more times a day. He might be playing and running it off and needs fed more frequent and better quality food.
Add 1 cup yogurt (1/2 and 1/2) to his food twice a day.
