When is an Afghan Hound fully grown?

An Afghan Hound typically reaches full height by around 12 to 16 months old, but they will continue to fill out and develop muscle mass until about two years of age. Growth plates, which are areas of cartilage at the ends of long bones and are responsible for bone growth, generally close by 12 to 18 months, marking the end of major skeletal growth. It’s recommended to transition your dog to adult dog food around 12 to 14 months to support their nutritional needs as they mature and their growth rate slows down.
