Canine growth refers to the physical and developmental changes that dogs undergo from birth to adulthood. Puppies grow rapidly in their first few months, gaining weight and height as they develop muscles and bones. This growth is influenced by factors such as breed, genetics, and nutrition. During the growth phase, dogs experience various stages, including puppyhood, adolescence, and maturity. Each stage has specific characteristics, such as increased energy levels and social behaviors. Proper care, including a balanced diet and regular veterinary check-ups, is essential to ensure healthy growth and development in dogs.
