Most Akitas reach their adult weight by around 21 months (90 weeks).
As a giant-sized breed, your Akita reaches adult size by 18-24 months. Larger breeds have a longer growth phase. Feeding a giant-breed-specific puppy food during this period supports proper bone and joint development.
Individual dogs may reach full size slightly earlier or later. Spayed or neutered puppies may also have slightly different growth timelines. Regular vet checkups are the best way to track your Akita's progress.

Because Akitas are a giant-sized breed, look for a large/giant breed puppy formula designed for their growth needs. Controlled minerals with added joint support.
Feed puppy-specific food until your Akita reaches adult size (around 21 months), then transition to an adult formula over 7–10 days.

For a giant-sized breed like the Akita, a 48-inch crate (fits dogs up to 90+ lbs) is the right adult size. Buy the adult size from the start and use the included divider panel while your puppy is still growing.
