1. What is the Labradoodle Size Calculator?

The Labradoodle Size Calculator estimates the adult weight of a Labradoodle puppy based on its current weight and age. This helps owners prepare for their dog's future size and nutritional needs.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• Current Weight — The puppy's current weight in pounds (lbs) or kilograms (kg)
