Another dog question

[live4christp1]

Our husky (really DS's) is 10 months old. He weighs 53 pounds. But I think he looks to thin. Looked up info on the breed to see where he should be and it lists adults between 50-60 pounds. He acts fine, has lots of energy, etc. He just looks skinny to me.

Maybe I just worry to much because I once had a beloved cocker spaniel that I lost to stomach cancer.

Maybe he looks smaller to me because he's shed his undercoat.

He's had his vet check ups, shots, etc. as scheduled without incidence. Even when he had to go in for the snake bite they said he was beautiful and didn't say anything of concern for his weight.

So am I just being paranoid?

Yes you probably are. When we had our Rottweiler the vet wanted him to be around 100lbs but I didn't think he looked good until he was about 120lbs. But for big dogs it is much healthier for them to be on the thin side as it is easier on their joints and adds to their longevity. So if the vet didn't say anything about his weight, your dog is likely at a good weight. And as you say he is energetic and eating well so he is fine.
