Cane Corso Growth Guide

Breed Overview

The Cane Corso is a powerful and intelligent working dog that originated in Italy, where it was bred to guard property, hunt large game, and serve as a versatile farm protector. With a muscular build, confident demeanor, and deeply loyal nature, the Cane Corso is both a formidable guardian and a devoted companion when properly socialized and trained.

As a giant breed, the Cane Corso undergoes rapid early development followed by prolonged growth into adulthood. Growth tracking is essential for this breed to ensure proper skeletal development, prevent obesity, and reduce the risk of orthopedic issues often associated with fast-growing large dogs.

How Much Bigger Will My Cane Corso Puppy Get?

Cane Corso puppies grow rapidly in the first year. Most reach 50% of their adult weight by 4–5 months and about 80% by their first birthday. However, because they are a giant breed, they continue to grow in size, strength, and chest width until 18–24 months.

Rule of Thumb:
To estimate adult size, double your Cane Corso’s weight at 16 weeks. For instance, a 50 lb puppy at 4 months may grow to be around 100–130 lbs when fully mature.

Cane Corso Growth Tips

Nutrition

Feed a giant-breed puppy formula designed to support slow, steady growth and prevent developmental bone issues. Offer 3–4 meals per day up to 6 months old, then transition to 2 meals daily. Avoid high-protein or high-calcium foods not specifically formulated for large breeds, as they can accelerate growth in harmful ways.

Exercise

Cane Corso puppies are active, but their joints are still forming. Provide structured, low-impact play and short walks, avoiding running, jumping, or stair-climbing until at least 18 months old. Overexertion during growth phases can lead to long-term joint damage.

Health Watch

Common growth-related health concerns in Cane Corsos include hip and elbow dysplasia, entropion, and bloat (gastric torsion). Maintaining a healthy weight, choosing appropriate food, and avoiding overexertion are key. Consider joint supplements (e.g., glucosamine and chondroitin) starting around 6–12 months, especially for working or active dogs.
