When Does a Cane Corso Stop Growing?

As a giant-sized working breed from Italy, the Cane Corso reaches full height of 23–27 inches by approximately 15–24 months. Full adult weight of 88–110 lbs follows within a few months as the dog fills out.

Nutrition during the growth phase is critical. Given the breed's predisposition to Hip Dysplasia, proper growth-rate management is especially important.

Is My Cane Corso Overweight?

To determine if your Cane Corso is at a healthy weight (88–110 lbs target):

  • Rib test: You should be able to feel the ribs without pressing hard, with a thin layer of fat covering them
  • Waist check: Viewed from above, there should be a visible waist behind the ribs
  • Tuck-up: From the side, the abdomen should tuck up behind the rib cage

Their coat type allows for relatively easy visual assessment. If your Cane Corso is overweight, work with your veterinarian to develop a safe weight loss plan. Even a 10% reduction can reduce the risk of Hip Dysplasia and other conditions.

Feeding Recommendation

Feed an adult Cane Corso approximately 1.3–2.2 cups of quality kibble daily, split into two meals. Males (88–110 lbs) may need slightly more than females (74–96 lbs). Males weigh 100-120 pounds, females 85-105 pounds; should appear athletic and muscular rather than the overly heavy, hyper-typed dogs seen in some lines.. With moderate energy (3/5), portions at the middle of guidelines usually suffice.

A fecal test and blood work are typically the first diagnostic steps.
