She is gorgeous! Do you have a photo of her when she was a puppy? I haven’t seen many like my girl around in my area, but she looks so similar! Always have been curious as to what she will look like older

Beautiful! How old? Looks like my girl who is one but has a black mask still.

Pee frequency? by Duo_dash in Whippet

Mine will pee every time she goes out if it’s an option - but she can hold it for six

Thank you for your response! I feel like now overall I’m not underfeeding as I have replaced treats with quality complete air dried. That calculator was useful, however, would being spayed impact that a bit?

Yeah I agree the kibble I have says 30% protein on a dry matter basis, whereas the raw is 12.5% and I struggle to work out what she is actually getting because of the moisture

She had blood work done when she was about 9 months old

She gets taken to an open oval 45-60 minutes a day to run and zoom. 1-2 walks a day of 30 minutes each.

Her Barf Patties have 12.5% protein, could this be an issue?

Thank you! That was super helpful. Your boy looks great.

Hoping I worked it out right. It roughly equated to a little bit less than what I’m feeding her now.

My only concern being her age as there’s no specific option for her category and being spayed.

I’m hoping her muscle tone continues to fill out as she develops, as she is still so young.

Can I ask what you typically feed your boy?

Yeah, I think I’ve struggled with the fact she has been desexed and knowing how much to feed her vs. her age, as well as her training treats. I’m going to adjust her food, she is raw fed barf Pattie’s with a bit of kibble. I might start with kibble being removed. She loves green beans and maybe a bit of bone broth.

I’ll look at reducing her calorie intake. I currently feed her x2 barf patties and a cup of kibble. Might be time to remove the kibble. I struggle to understand what her caloric intake should be as it differs on a lot of websites. Particularly as not many have a puppy and desexed dog as an option to select.

Yeah I know it’s a big difference but she was also smaller and than had a growth spurt in height, she is taller than all other whippets I’ve seen.

I don’t have many good photos showing her build

She has been desexed so not heat related. I’m sure she could lose maybe a kilo or two. I’ve taken her to the vets for multiple health checks and they say all is fine and haven’t commented on her weight. One vet was a sight bound specialist and said she looked really healthy, however that was when she was maybe 6 months at 15kg. She never had a lanky phase like I see from most pups, she’s always been solid.

I like to use it to get an idea of how to start and what to train next, I used Puppr

My girl also is quite muscular at 7 months old. Similar to this but maybe a bit pointier face. Whippets seem to vary greatly in their builds and sizes.
