Growth Chart

When Does a Spinone Italiano Stop Growing?

As a large-sized sporting breed from Italy, the Spinone Italiano reaches full height of 22–27 inches by approximately 15–24 months. Full adult weight of 56–82 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 Spinone Italiano Overweight?

To determine if your Spinone Italiano is at a healthy weight (56–82 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 wire coat can mask weight gain, so hands-on assessment is essential. If your Spinone Italiano 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 Spinone Italiano approximately 0.8–1.6 cups of quality kibble daily, split into two meals. Males (56–82 lbs) may need slightly more than females (47–72 lbs). Males 70-82 lbs, females 62-70 lbs. Large, solidly built dogs with a square body shape. Should appear powerful and rugged, not refined.. With moderate energy (3/5), portions at the middle of guidelines usually suffice.
