What is the healthy weight for a Cane Corso?

The generally accepted healthy adult weight range is 40–50 kg (88–110 lb). Males tend toward the upper end; females toward the lower. More important than the number is body condition score — aim for a BCS of 4–5 out of 9.

How do I tell if my Cane Corso is overweight?

Run your hands along the ribcage. If you can't feel the ribs without firm pressure, or there's no visible waist from above, the dog is likely carrying excess fat. A vet can confirm with a formal body condition assessment.

Does the Cane Corso's muscular build make weight hard to assess?

Yes. Heavy musculature can make a Corso look healthy even when it's carrying too much fat — and vice versa. Rib palpation and the abdominal tuck check are more reliable than visual appearance alone.
