How Much Does an Adult Golden Retriever Weigh, and What If It’s Too Thin?
Adult male golden retrievers should weigh 27–34 kg and females 25–32 kg. If yours is underweight—usually from poor nutrition, parasites, or weak digestion—improve the diet, deworm regularly, and support gut health to help it gain.
Is this a bug?
The photo shows a tick on the dog. Use a fipronil topical spot-on so the tick detaches, or dab alcohol, then pull it straight out with tweezers and disinfect. Clear environment parasites to avoid reinfection.

A 2-year-old Teddy is adult: monthly external deworming and internal deworming every 2-3 months. Use broad-spectrum meds (fipronil, selamectin, praziquantel) by weight per vet advice, keep the environment clean, and avoid grass/raw meat.
My dog has a lot of growths on its lower body
From the photo, the yellow bumps are most likely ticks — smooth, yellow to dark brown, growing as they feed, with black leg parts showing.

What do you think of Ramical deworming spray?
Its main ingredient is fipronil, which works within 30 minutes to kill fleas, ticks, and lice on dogs and cats. The formula is gentle—the drug stays in the sebaceous glands and doesn't enter the blood—so puppies and kittens can use it. But put an E-collar on to stop licking and poisoning.
