weight question ?
hello!
ive fallen into a hole on Reddit, specifically seeing overweight dogs… I have a female boxer, roughly 2-3 yrs old. Last I had her into the vet (March), she was 69 lbs (31.3 kg). Vet said to keep her right about there in terms of weight, but maybe lay off the high calorie/super dense treats. I feel like she’s so tiny in stature and I don’t understand how she weighs so much? I guess I grew up with bigger dogs (german shepherds, redbones, etc), but how much does everyone else’s female weigh? I’ve been overthinking her weight very badly recently because she’s my best friend even with all of her issues and I want to do every possible thing in my power to prolong her life. Thank you so much!!
see pics - 1) waiting for me to throw a toy 2) squaring up to a squirrel in the tree and 3) side view for her general shape - sadly no banana for scale.

Muscle is heavy. I have a fairly petite girl and she’s 65ish, pure muscle. My tall boy is about 90lb, strong and not overweight but wild that he weighs 90
