When Does a Dogo Argentino Stop Growing?

The Dogo Argentino stops growing in height (target: 23–27 inches) around 15–24 months of age, but may continue adding weight toward 100 lbs for several more months. Males weigh 88-100 pounds, females 77-90 pounds; the breed should be muscular and athletic with a powerful yet agile frame built for hunting..

Early spay/neuter can affect growth plate closure, potentially resulting in a slightly taller but leaner adult.

Is My Dogo Argentino Overweight?

To determine if your Dogo Argentino is at a healthy weight (80–100 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 Dogo Argentino is overweight, work with your veterinarian to develop a safe weight loss plan. Even a 10% reduction can reduce the risk of Deafness and other conditions.

Plan on 1.2–2.0 cups of premium dry food daily for your adult Dogo Argentino, divided into morning and evening meals. Given this working breed's predisposition to Deafness, discuss dietary approaches that may help manage this risk with your vet.
