Weight is only half of the equation. How tall is your pup from the floor to the top of his shoulder blade/topline, and what is his length? You should be able to see a "waistline," and a tuck (stomach area is higher than chest underneath). You should also be able to feel his ribcage without squeezing too hard.

I agree with Lillymae that you should discuss weight and hair loss with your vet.
