🧬 What Influences Cane Corso Weight?
Several factors can affect how much your Cane Corso weighs:
- Genetics – Bloodline plays a major role
- Diet – Overfeeding = rapid weight gain
- Exercise level – Active dogs stay leaner
- Spay/neuter status – May affect metabolism
- Health issues – Thyroid, hip problems, or arthritis can limit mobility
🍽️ Feeding for Healthy Weight
Cane Corsos need a high-quality diet designed for large breeds. Overfeeding—especially with calorie-dense kibble—can lead to joint issues, obesity, and bloat.
Feeding Tips:
- Feed puppies 3x per day, switching to 2x per day as adults
- Choose food with glucosamine and chondroitin for joint support
- Monitor body condition, not just scale numbers
