What is a healthy weight for a female Golden Retriever?

Female Goldens typically fall in the range of 25–29 kg (55–65 lb) at a healthy adult weight. Body condition score is as important as the number — verify by feeling the ribs with light pressure and checking for a visible waist from above.

How do I tell if my Golden is overweight with all that fur?

Part the coat and feel the ribcage directly with your fingertips. At a healthy weight, you should feel each rib with only light pressure. If you need to press firmly through a soft layer to feel bone, the dog is likely carrying excess fat. Checking waist definition from above is also helpful.

My Golden weighs 38 kg — should I be concerned?

The ideal weight range for Goldens is 25–34 kg. At 38 kg, most Goldens would be overweight. A veterinary consultation to assess body condition score and develop a safe weight-management plan is recommended.
