Mochi's Weight and Height Chart

Mochi was born in Hong Kong on February 7th, 2015. Here's his growth chart so far:


April 19th (10 weeks old): 0.6kg

April 22nd (10 weeks old): 0.65kg

April 29th (11 weeks old): 0.9kg (!!!)

May 1st (almost 12 weeks old): 1 kg (!!!) [50 Clinivet kibbles per meal + a few Orijen kibs]





May 2nd (12 weeks old): 1.12 kg [70 Clinivet kibbles per meal plus 8 Orijen kibs] 
Height floor to top of head: 23-25 cm (wriggling too much!)
Height floor to shoulder: 19cm
Back length: 23 cm (neck to tail, not including tail)

May 13th (13 weeks old): 1.4 kg [7 grams of Clinivet per meal and 7 grams of Orijen kibs]

May 23rd (15 weeks old): 1.63 kg [chicken and rice diet now due to his stomach upset]
Height floor to shoulder: 23.5 cm
Back length:  25.5 cm

June 10th (17 weeks old): 2.1 kg [60 grams of Hills Ideal Balance Puppy Small Breed kibbles + some ProLife canned food]
Ever since Mochi was fed chicken and rice diet for a week, he had trouble returning to a straight kibble diet.  Upon recommendation by the vet, we opted for Hills Ideal Balance Puppy Small Breed kibbles plus some ProLife canned chicken and rice dog food spooned on top.

July 10th (5 months old): 2.7 kg [same diet as above].  Mochi should be steadying off on his final adult weight soon.

August 10th (6 months old): 3.3 kg [30 grams kibbles + some ProLife canned food]. We noticed in July that Mochi started to have trouble finishing all of his meals and that he did not have as big an appetite as previously.  We reduced him from four meals to three meals a day, and finally now we are on just two meals a day plus some snacks.  His food intake has reduced a lot compared to when he was rapidly growing as a baby pup.  The vet said that he should probably be at about 90% of his final weight now.
